Best Commodify Poems
I Am Not His PropertyI wake up with a great startle.
My Obama EarthTribe CoOperative WinWin GlobalVillage Dream
was merely my hibernation.
I dreamed we share richly valued properties from healthy-wealthy African Elders,
but awake, once again,
only to painfully remember
I am now merely His disinvested property.
I have become enslaved by His addictions to...

That Gratitude AttitudeGratitude
A co-empathic sense of trust,
awe,
appreciation of echo-resonant
deep-listening resolutions,
trusted truth in beauty life
together,
better than failing apart.
A resilient sense of belonging
beyond vulnerable longing for gratitude
autumnal taproot harvesting spring's irrepressible hope,
just as summer's nutritional body maturation
predicts winter's cold isolation
recomposing mindfulness.
Gratitude

The Lorax SequelI took the only seed of hope
for any future healthy Truffula Trees,
but reminded my clinically depressed acquaintance
we are all born co-redeemers,
not addictively incubating extractors.
Ours is not to commodify
what we could not recreate
for its sufficient regeneration,
to fairly claim any rights
to economic value.
You talk funny,
replied the...

This Passionate MomentRed hot and cool Green peace
passions bring us to this sacred

More dialogue regenerative
when cooperative
so more redundantly competitive
when endless debate degenerative
Less producing fruit

secular and sacred
indigenously wise potential.

Uniting States of WisdomWe have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will.

Contentious KindnessAnger and kindness reach for richly polar opposition.
So, can I have any more perfect anger
than I have perfect kindness?
Rumi claims that anger reposes during kindness,
but sleep is not death,
while kindness anxiously awaits
during times of quick vexation,
deeply entrenched resentment and hurt
and fear of pathological repetition
of loss...

Therapeutic JusticeI sometimes see hints of sacred order
in all people born equal.
We have equal rights to live,
to breathe,
to sustain our bodies and our families,
neighbors within reach of influence
with sufficient nutrients
to speak and sound and show and live...

Here We AreHere we are huddling together,
neither our collective nightmare
nor our communal wetdream.
At our best,
struggling together with future and past health
of generations,
at our worst competing against each other,
resenting what our parents and grandparents took before us,
and what our children and grandchildren expect from us.
Here we are,
reincarnating mythic...

Political Ecology of EconomicsIf time is money
then time is capital
so maybe healthy time could also become capitalized wealth.
If money is a token of time’s value
and capitalism commodifies time’s human value,
then human values commodify equitable,
as well as more competitive, investments
in Self and Others
as Earth’s EcoTribal Cooperative.
Capitalism of wealth distorts...

Antiecological ApartheidPatriotically empowered boundaries of apartheid
are also economic and ecological apartheid
of borders unrecognized by MatrioticEarth.
Economic and ecological apartheid
of Earth's nature ourselves,
one Immigrant Creolizing Body,
are inhumane and anti-healthy faces
of politically empowered fascism,
totalitarianism,
rulership of patriarchally self-inspired Elites
now rabidly cannibalizing our own overpopulating

Pledged Allegiance To the SunWilderness edible forests,
to hungry mothers,
became wild undomesticated wastelands
to commodifying and taxing FatherLand patriarchs.
Wilderness matriarchs once Pledged Allegiance to the Sun,
and Gratitude to GrandMother Moon
for both interdependent fullness
and new womb emptiness,
grace-filled promise
of future healthy integrity,
pregnant with promising fertility.
We pledge allegiance and gratitude to our Sun,

Those Ecotherapeutic SmilesOur most entertaining wise prophets,
our saints and messianic geniuses
are those who mentor us about what not to do
to sustain abundant loss,
how to recognize those who could not possibly truthfully communicate,
which scriptures could not predict healthy faith again,
how not to become retired,
how to cooperatively come together,

The Agnostic GardenerHow can you say
with your not quite straight face
that you neither know nor care
anything of God, or gods, or even exotic goddesses?
That's like saying you don't care for any love today,
or rain during a drought,
but thanks so very much for suggesting your best holistic medicine,

I Have HeardI have heard it said,
Love your neighbor as yourself.
I listen with you
to how our neighbors become part of us
and not,
and how this feels healthy
and not
for you
and my potentially co-empathic neighbors.
I have heard it said,
Better dead than red.
I hear this fear.
But, for me,
better red balances with...
