Best Cooperate Poems


Premium Member Something Great If We Cooperate

We have to endure and stay together 
in all kinds of sunny and stormy weather. 
You must realize in marriage, we are a team. 
We are united in reality and not in a dream. 
I know we can make this something great 
if we both make an effort to cooperate.

Premium Member Trauma History

Could chronic stress,
like sleep deprivation,
noise and light and air pollution
also derive
by avoiding barely still alive
high-risk trauma messes?

Sometimes sadly beginning
prior to economic and political puberty

Including multi-generational suppression
misogynistic sex tensions
and monotheistic depression
and homophobic repression,
hateful Othering paranoid impressions,
chronic monocultural climate despair,
uncivil disinvested oppressions

Endarkened
by a popular FirstWorld
anthro-privileged
secularizing, dividing, dissociating
evolutionary theory
of mutual assured predation
damnation
degenerating ecosystemic deflation,
ecocidal extinction
of once sacred synergetic EarthLove
elation

Or at least
co-empowering messianic missions 
for restoring EarthJustice
mental ego-health is physical eco-wealth 
co-relations.

So, go on
all RightWing
WrongHeaded;
service yourself!

But
I doubt you will find 
your God's RightHand solipsism
resiliently satisfying
much less sacredly edifying.

Uncovering ecofeminists
and recovering peace mediators
are done being your ***** punishing bag!
Your indigenous justice
community resonance hag!

Did I hear that out loud?

Oh, any polypathic way,
Does chronic lifetime-anxiety disorder,
win/lose competitive stress,
contribute to multi-generational high-risk trauma histories?

Sometimes beginning long before adult maturing transition
from Either/Or fundamentalist childlike conditions
not Both/And exploring inside/outside
neuro-sensory double-boundaries
in-between healthy, mature win/win resonance
and lose/lose despairing dissonance,
positively and negatively
therapeutically and traumatically
correlated

In older adults
sometimes producing increased market risks
and opportunities of dementia,
with unfortunate paranoid demise

Rather than fortunate co-invested
peaceful
pleasured 
mindbody post-traumatic surprise
of warm unconditional outcomes
in win/win Paradise.

Cooperate

It's doing my head in, really getting me down,
The rules keep changing when they need to,
We should follow the rules to stay safe,
Some dont want to they think it doesnt apply to them,
So stay away I dont want to get ill,

I keep hearing "it's only the flu",  "you cant live in fear",
Get on with life stop whinging,
Apparently we who follow are been brainwashed .... what a load of bull,
It's all over social media "I'm doing what I want",

Those that follow the rules will be unlucky and get ill,
Those that flout the rules will more than likely be ok,
It's not right and it's not fair we need to be all ok,
Two new varients have now taken over,
Yet still most dont get it ........ IT KILLS,

This year we get Christmas day that's it,
Thanks to those that flouted the rules or twisted them to suit,
Some dont realise they may have it and pass it on it's as easy as that,

It's been a strange year and not a happy one,
Family, friends, lovers and colleagues lost to covid,
But they still dont learn that mixing could kill,
The rules are not that hard to follow ,
Wash your hands, wear a mask, 2m distance, no going in other homes,
In fact STAY AT HOME it's not a lot to ask


Premium Member Protect Your Valuables

Capital Growing valuables,
liquid and solid infrastructural,
are also sacred AnthroElder artifacts for 
Future cooperative co-investment,

health preferring multicultural control
over thoughtlessly biased
ego left hemisphere privileged
AnthroSupremacist competitions
with other
lesser beings
competitively anxious
about sufficiency of Earth's healthy systemic limits
on perpetual economic
anti-ecologically dissonant 
Over-development

of remaining
positively deviant
multiculturally resilient health care systems
giving and polyculturally receiving
back to pre-historic timeless time
regenerating win/win cooperative
EarthMatriarchal
domestically nonhistoric
everyday sensory-neural experiences
of resilient bliss
seldom captured inside historically sanctified
patriotic national identity development

Non left-hemisphere dominant
yet felt Warm Wet Wombing
WorldWide Webbing
interdependently reweaving Stories of 
Climate health potential

through Cooperative Rule GoldStandards
for multiculturally AnthroCentric optimization
of resilient health,
as left-hemisphere appreciated
and robustly co-invested
in right-hemisphere eco-political
interdependently inclusive
Democratic wealth

looks and feels quite different
than StraightWhitePrivilegedPatriarchalism
Business as WestBrain EmpireBuilding Usual
YangPower v YintegralEnlightenment,
RightWing discameral imbalance;
Threat to climates of resilient Health

right here and now 
in globally interdependent
healthy communication history,

Whose messaging could you discern
interweaving trust
and mistrust
and active distrust

From which sources
and resources
do you listen?
and draw 
and most intelligently
Bicamerally design

for cooperative,
Liberal liberating love

for mutual co-investment
in multicultural wealth
political win/win healthy
empowering enlightened resonance,
emergent green democratic resilience,
Non-violently cooperative

socio-economic capital growing valuables,
liquid yintegral and solid yang infrastructural,
are also sacred AnthroElder artifacts for 
Future extended family's
cooperative economic health
ecological wealth 
in cooperative ecopolitical investments.

Premium Member Did Anything Go Wrong

Until we met the Covid 19
We have never ask ourselves
Did anything go wrong
Until we encountered
The most frightening epidermic
We never know
The longest fight
The hardest to control
Until deaths swept across madly 
We never know 
There are so much uncertainities
But one thing is sure that
We have to fight worldwide
We have to share among us
We have to cooperate eternally
We have to help each other
In the name To Survive

Quid Pro Quo

Altho' knowing that
nothing beats tit for tat
there's no call at all
to cooperate
if you don't wish
to participate
but if something you lack
and scratch my back
while one hand
washes the other
I'll scratch yours
which could be
accomplished
when down on all fours
however taking a gander
unseemly tho' it may be
what's good for the goose
is good for me
