Best Colonizing Poems
Atlantis Lives
Transformed by time/ yet held in our hearts/
The truth we seek to be revealed by those who
Travelled before our time/ with hope preserved
In tomes unread/the ancient ones did tell of precious
Dreams and values deemed a right for all that passed
this way/shall once more see what poets knew to be
held fast in living truths/the strong shall share with
those most meek/ to build a life we all hold true and
seek the path as told before/pray not repeat the
wayward way that doomed before our planet
slept/fatigued by rules that vaulted greed above
the souls of you and me….

Tribute to Carolyn Devonshire’s book “Colonizing Atlantis, The New Earth”

Narrative
The clock was ticking and the countdown had begun, the moment had now arrived when myself and six other astronauts would blast off from Cape Kennedy.
We were going out to deep infinite space on the first manned mission to Mars, that would take six months to complete with the hope of colonizing the red planet for the eternal good of all mankind.
I couldnt help but think that we the human race had not done a good job so far of looking after our own planet earth with pollution, terrorism and wars and still people on earth did not have shelter or enough food to eat.
My thoughts came back to the present as a voice from mission control
came over the radio, "54321 ignition, we have lift off, we are go" .
The time had now come to leave the past behind and to create history.

We chase the eyes of God
Through this cosmic dream
Are there multiple Gods
Walking through space and time
We want to know, all that you know
Satellite probes stretching to the stars
Colonizing this copper moon and this iron mars
How did we get here, God, to where you are?
Where is this beginning
Where is this end
You gave us this curious mind for
Asking deep questions like
Who, what, when why, and how?
The eyes of God dwell in this soul or
God is our dream

Old Dogs and Children**
Woke up
always a plus.
Took care of business.
Found my teeth -
a must.
Brushed them…..off.
Made coffee
meditated on its scent
and promise.
Met the dog at the door
(no explanation necessary)
Made breakfast for two.
Exchanged greetings
grumps, grunts and
hugs with wife,
confidante and lover
(all at the same time)
Thought about-
-cutting the grass
-washing the truck
-bathing the dog
-planting some flowers
-colonizing the moon
Woke up - refreshed
Didn’t do any of the above.
Visited five month old granddaughter
-changed diapers
-pushed carriage
-sang songs
-Grandma fed her
-changed diapers
-played on floor(with baby)
-stayed on floor(to recover)
Returned home
Made coffee
meditated on its scent
and promise.
Met the dog – again.
Shared a quiet(?) supper.
Exchanged good nights
grumps, grunts and
hugs with wife,
confidante and lover.

Singing with iridescent

Clubbing twilight with both
Fists, gulped by gallons

Overbearing junipers
Crowding the galaxy

Unafraid of red

Across the borders, might be big or small
Bright Galions, ready to destroy with big cannons
Colonizing every country they go
Dead bodies and blood to the seas they flow
Every Filipino stand your ground
For God is with us, in our hearts He's found
God is with us, God is in me
Hallelujah, We keep on singing
Hallelujah, We might die today
Hallelujah, Give us strength we pray
In the end the battle is over
Justice for our Country lovers
Killings and Words to ponder
Love of God, In his arms we're under

What color is love?
For some white absence,
for others dipolar TransParent,

PolyCulturing Love
symbiotic transformation,

Eco-intelligent conscious information

dualdark concave crystal receding octaves
of ecopolitical natural regenesis,
biculturally nurturing color function,

Springing up green hope toward faith,
black fears of fear our colonizing ego-selves,
LeftBrain blind and deaf

Synergy revolving wheels
evolving holonic heals
regenerating physical

What color is ultra-violet?
NewMoon liminal
unbright longing
for mellow yellow.

My ancestors had years of struggle
Trying to blend into their masters ideas
And to secure a slot in masters good books
They fought hard to disown who they are
Just to prove themselves worthy
Of their masters colonizing philosophy
I, at the receiving end
I’m battling to reconcile
My ancestor’s conformity
Because I have nothing I can call it my own
They gave it all away in exchange for civilization
Or the master took everything using the same context
My master preached civilization
As a tool to liberate a black child
Our ancestors bought into their ideas
Unknowingly they sold our souls
Like the word peddlers of old
Who come to people wearing sheep skins
Yet they are dangerous wolves
They preached cultural exchange
Yet they did nothing to learn our culture
After all the years I’ve been with my master
He still can’t pronounce my name
Pity for him
I don’t have a religious names
I’ve seen people die because of their lingo
Others perish because of how they look
Many vanished in experiments executed by the master
Skulls are still held captive in our master’s castle
Far away from motherland
Namibians I feel your pain
Hundred years passed since the First World War
We still suffer at the hands of the master
My speech
My food
My tradeoff abilities
All is measured against my master’s way of life
I will never raise above my master
He’s a custodian of western life
The work I do is nothing
If the master does not approve
Even if multitude node with approval
My talent may be up there
Amongst the best in the world
But all that is futile
If the master turns a blind eye
As if my life don’t matter
Sarina give thanks to the all mighty
For you kept on shining till this day
The texture of my skin does not disqualify
The fact that I’m a human being too
I want to believe I’m free
But I still feel, I am a slave

Stupidity is the new trend, The new merchandise everyone is buying
It's something not just teens but adults have adopted
It's this idea that if you're the stupidest person in the room
You're the coolest person in the room
It bugs me that this disease, this infection, this sickness
Has spread its viruses into everyone's head but mine
Everywhere you go there are trash like humans , Humans that are just parasites, they take all they can and never retrieve the favor,
I thought Newt Gingrich's idea of colonizing the moon was stupid
It was something thought up by a child with mental retardation
But now I would love to colonize the moon and please let me be the first one there, so that I can get away from the horrible, menacing, idiotic, pathetic wastes of life forms that we have branded with the name humans
I have given up all hope in humanity, for a long time I've known
That humanity sucks and I lost faith in it long ago
But there was still this little, minuscule, petite gleam of hope
That maybe just maybe humanity would realize its mistakes
And at least attempt to fix them but no I was proven wrong
Now that bit of hope has left my body, it has been extinguished
So **** you humanity and suck my cock
Have fun killing this world and each other with your immense stupidity

I travel in my imagination to talk to the sky about the sound from crying
Mum, the coastal area erosion my interest to take the risk to talk the
night gown glowing beneath the wind from the vile of verbose. The night
sombre to talk to me in lusty thy heart call to convey the conversation to
the contraction of my imagination pole to polemic night.
The cart of load middle of office article of etiquette acquiring the anchor
of life floating on the top of leafs to the drop of a pen that sound
inculcate Carbon Monoxide in my lungs, the bugs ramming the trim chopped to
the shape of my poetry garage, where lullaby play violin appeasing the

Futuristic that I have to feature all the songs sang by the birth to take

future star.
The shape of a room isn't my stop where building of atomic infractions dust
the dock to the documents of love, salad of emotions building in to into-to
Ruin not thy heart it sound correct to the correspondent reticent, the
Wagging of tail enjoins the brown color to the skyscraper in the heart of
the city sun. The ink of hate won't drop to the sound of pebble and the map
Of courage cool down the ridges moan of baby.
The high thinking keep on colonizing my entire colorless breathe that
wanted to shake to the voice of the night, the taste of understanding swirl
meek hard and aim of okra is too slippery the road to sound of success is
second hand to those placed theirs, the might blame the corrosive
Situation pink of flowers impact changes to the scent of cigar.

"Where love rules, there is no will to power;
and where power predominates, there love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other."
Carl Jung
Active love co-arises power-with,
articulating poli-economic co-intelligence,
and not fertilizing power-over.
Wisdom smiles through Poetry's Muse
showing reasoned narratives
in Earth's meaning-filled nature stories
exploring unseen spirited purposes,
dynamically developing creations,
recreations,
sacred transubstantiations.
Science, Research, Industry
and Poetry
and Creation Stories
emerge from natural embodied roots
in primary full-octave color frequencies
of receptive investment in perceptive production.
Natural Law beliefs flower from Spiritual Trust/Mistrust/Distrust
as Facts emerge from resonant/dissonant Feelings.
Win/Win hopes and Lose/Lose historical v herstory facts
Resilient health narratives
co-arising natural/spiritual indigenous roots
of and for Wisdom's regenerating panentheism,
rebirthing herstory,
stretching toward Love's abundant warm harvest,
free of freezing fear.
History of economically wealthy Harvest
as deep listening earns healthy political Love,
birthing CoArising EnLightenment.
Longing begets belonging,
halfness begets wholeness,
so too
win/lose opposition begets win/win
as colonizing monocultures beget creolizing polycultures.
Local Leaders cannot neglect wisdom to sustain health power
as EarthTribe faithful Followers,
CoMuses of life's lovely belonging therapy
and suffering traumatic loss experiences
CoArising Earth's neuro- and eco-systemic wisdom
cannot impatiently abuse deep sensory co-passions
to win wealthyMind/healthyBody co-hosting power
win/win with
and not win/lose overpowering
irreligious
disassociative systemic trauma.
YangPower is fertile as wild yeast
as YinWisdom evolves poli
and poly cultural
panentheistic feast.
Profoundly depolarizing
ego downsizing
inclusive EarthTribe Love
is to holisitic Wisdom
as Yang is to Yin,
crown/rooted within AnthroMind/EarthBody's warm womb,
of sacred historic HerStory.
Monotheistic love is to panentheistic Wisdom
as win/win spiritual wisdom co-operates EarthTribe
natural law love.

When cold hearted ego insists and persists
with consistent deductive reason
and empirical truths of self-judgement
EcoEarth's warm breath invites
inductively resonant
personal empowering and economic enlightened
experiential truth
of ego/eco-passionate coinvestment.
Most of us Left-brain dominant
overly competitive,
especially with our truer deeper selves,
for not sharing/transacting/communicating/gifting
healthy relationship priorities,
shamelessly commodified
humorously self-domesticated
folks
would feel healthier
and probably wisdom wealthier
to water our Right brain flowers
wilt our Left-brain competitive
overly-climaxed dominant
monoculturing weedpatch.
Try on some different colors
and dialects
and cultures
and paradigms
and shoes
and win/win role plays
and empathetic eyes.
Really,
what could you possibly lose
that you really want,
but don't need?
What might we all gain
if you loosened up that monotheistic deducing-reducing
win/lose competing divine brain v human braun
to catch a more polyculturally beloved inductive
win/win cooperative mind/body train?
What cold hearted ego insists and persists
for colonizing the world
eco's warm-hearth breath invites
for creolizing sacred EarthTribes.

Humanity - tormentor of my dreams
I discovered the people diverse the scream
Limitlessness - limitlessness - limitlessness!
My ephemerality I could not awaken limitlessness
Take thy transcendence from out my heart aching
I crave the human, humane humanness breaking
And the universality never transcending, man's pretending
I crave the dialectic, divine deliverance
I threw my otherness upon the floor with indifference
And the consumers never differentiating
It was hardcore, more so, galore while contemplating
While I pondered, totalitarian and your humanity
Suddenly, I heard some labeling
Only this and a totalitarianism
That moment my soul grew cultist
I discovered the members unlisted
I threw my civilization upon the floor
Do you like embers, men ignore
The annexationist brought such sorrow
I crave the mystic, monarchical democracy borrowed
That fundamentalist, fundamentalist civilizing
Much I marveled this inclusive individualization
And so I screamed, 'Is that a extremity?'
That druid, druidic colonizing
And the civilizations never democratizing
Still is fraternizing, still is extremity fraternizing humanity

Iain McGilchrist,
neurological psychologist,
builds on previous findings of Edward De Bono
and Julian Jaynes.
Human nature is bicamerally structured
for cerebral and appositional specialization,
inclusive and sacred empathies from Elder Right matriarchal,
with deductive-reductive linguistic natural laws
and patriarchal orders from Left hemisphere dominant enculturation.
This Left dominant hemispheric and global overshoot
has brought us to buying and selling military-industrialized colonization
with appropriate tools
to get deductive-reductive killing and maiming jobs done,
as necessary for justice in self-justifying wars
through metaphysical Win-Lose
Either-Or cognitive-emotive assumptions,
retributive justice.
As if punishment were a monopoly of social justice
rather than a rather poor suboptimization
of restorative therapeutic justice,
also both natural and spiritual
but for restoring health,
inclusive therapy of victims with our predative,
colonizing,
fear and anger-mongering,
commodifying of Earth's greatest sacred grace,
gifts of clean air,
pure water,
sacred healing fire-circles of WinWin intent,
healthy MotherLand fertility
of forests and virgin oceans
now horribly RightBrain lost,
depressed,
dissonant,
irrational pathologies
of too many bad boys
with sharp law and order enforcing toys,
and word choices,
and lack of more nurturing WinWin diplomatic options.
Fears and fake-divine idolatries
of HellFire and Jihad JustWar BrimStones
to punish those who dare defy
a Great Patriarchal YangGod of Victimization
rather than inviting available cooperative bicameral adjustments
of ego- with eco-conciousness,
to include Elder Sacred MotherEarth
born of Grandfather SunGod Radiant Powers.
Gaia hypotheses of Sacred RightYin
with EcoLogical PolyPaths of SecularLeft Yang,
co-arising nondual dipolar,
bicamerally dynamic ecopolitical prime relationship
of Yang +1Earth and Her Balancing EcoSystems
with YinSquared (-,-)0-Soul Theorem
equivalent to speed of reverting 4D light,
co-arising as also having co-gravitated
universal unity of space as also bilateral flow of time,
YangHere SecularLeft reweaving YinNow SacredRight,
breathing YangLeft here in,
breathing YinRight now out,

now out,
