But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a geographic effect
than a political cause
of growing estrangement on one side,
and...

A Social ComplexWhat is social complexity?

which also reads just as right as
What is regenerative density?
to me
and perhaps to Bucky Fuller,
and then again Gregory Bateson's
What is sacred ecology?
comes to reweave Laotse's
What is self/other-regenerative abundant flow of governance?
Mr. Wright
looks back to Mr....

Portrait of An EnvirophileMeasure you may the enviro-crusader’s carbon footprint
As he globe-trots piling credits on his obese carbon profile.
Never mind, in exotic locations on eco-holiday does he relax,
Ready is he to depocket valuable dollars as carbon tax.
Lavishly he spends lucres to go green,
To erect sustainable habitat.
Is it all...

Are featured by poverty amidst plenty
Senior officers are like bats in offices and survive
Through no or faked democratic elections
Developed Nations exploit them eloquently
Every form of treasure is mortgaged
Very few rulers dream of their dark hearts
Even the rulers are...

Gays Against JamaicaIt is true that Jamaica is rich in tradition
and history,
Jamaicans don't view the world as everybody else
does, they are critical when it comes to love,
The country has more churches per capita,
So, the natives are not easily persuaded with
new chapters,
Youths who display a penchant for the...

Another Point of ViewMany years ago, with the west still wild,
I lived happily as a carefree child
In North Dakota, the Flickertail State
To which only the hardy emigrate.
You might like my home state or maybe not,
Extreme weather was either cold or hot.
Its residents are robust, sturdy folks,
Who often are...

analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)
until she became a tweener
my Matty Mattel Doll (circa mid 1960's)

Did Their Lives Matter, Part IYou see all of these protesters out
chanting and screeching on the TV,
convinced that we’ll solve all our problems
Ii we just get rid of the police.
They claim that they’re targeting people

God’s words are the truth, life,...
