Best Contentiousness Poems


Premium Member No Anchor For Rancour
Upon those who yield to anger, I should take pity
because words they spit are like sandpaper, gritty.
A loathsome temper causes them to fume and fret,
sometimes churlish ones spew what they will regret.

Restraining venom is an idea some are unable to grok.
Fury is the key to...

“You must love your neighbor as yourself.” 
Matthew wrote those words in the Bible to tell 
the world how God expects everyone to be.
No mask worn by a viper can conceal a snake 
from the eyes of God, for he sees everything.

Don't accuse me of...

Premium Member Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?

False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional form,
and no such thing as changing function without some form
distinguished...

Premium Member Why Life
Why does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings 
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter 
before naked covered night.

Why life?
To uncover love's lift-up light
integrity's co-arising comprehensive bright.

Why love?
To discover love life...

Premium Member Sublime Terror
Let's say I am an antro-privileged terrorist.

What would we be saying? 
And is human nature supremacy
over all other less sacred nature/spirits
as monotheistically redundant
as anthro-industrious militarism?

If you are a HolySpirit panentheist,
is "religious terrorist" as oxymoronic
as using "militarized intelligence"
to achieve win/win peaceful resonance
of chronic win/lose unjust anthro-dissonance?

I...

Premium Member So Many Struggles, So Little Time
Why does "sacrilegious"
mean struggling against sacred health experience
rather than struggling with re-ligioning monotheistic divinity
to notnot dualling polytheistic dividity?

How could prodigal sons and daughters
struggle against their prodigy potential,
yet not struggle with our prodigious potentiality?

When would a wealthy natural spirit
struggle against healthy spirituality
rather than struggle with nondualistic...

Premium Member Nature's Controversial Kindness
Taoist Elders have spoken--
and who could natural spirits be
to rewrite cooperative history--
outside nature, unlike inside spirits, 
does not favor kindness.

Premium Member Three Faces of Wisdom
I am reading minds and potentially wise political bodies
with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, again.

He speaks of three interdependent aspects of wisdom.
The first is rooted in ecoconscious comprehension
of how and why knowledge, deductive information, facts, beliefs
may be both regeneratively positive
and degeneratively negative.
Wisdom begins with knowledge
but ends in polypathically...

Premium Member Did You Notice
Did you notice?

What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do 
and do not 
have breakfast with,
and why

The brand and make and year of your car
are less significant to your well-being
than the costs to you,
your family,
and our healthy future?

The...

Premium Member Dr Fuller's Unitarian Community
Let's start with one shared understanding:
life is a more dynamically relational synonym for "nature".

So when we ask,
What is the purpose of life?
we are also asking,
What is nature's purpose?
which sounds similar to asking if evolution is teleological.

What if we collectively imagined that life
is to "regenerative empowerment"
as...

Premium Member Imagine Recreating History
Imagine language iconically evolves
neurosystemic memory patterns

DNA polyvagal structure 
revolving fractal memory stages
of perennially recycling development
recreating holonic-holy frequency functions

Unfolding minds
refolding  bodies of regenerate patterns
encrypted through prefolding revolving flow,
nurturing re-membering strings 
of neurosystemic win/win
ego/eco binomial health/wealth
Me/We co-passionate redevelopment structure.

Imagine a chicken co-emerges into fertility
with an internal...

If political scientists study power relationships,
could economists study interior and exterior communications

Paranoia
How can I live in this world,
Where flattery, hypocrisy, coax, bigotry, shrewdness, impersonation are huddled? 
But I’m a dunce to do all of these utterly necessary characteristics. 

How can I live in this world,
Where killing, corruption, forgery, treachery are inseparable part of success? 
But I’m...
