Best Disuniting Poems

Africa
My beloved Africa
Africa
The cradle of humanity
Civilization starting in the Nile valley
Africa the cradle of writing 
Hieroglyphics dating back from Egypt
Yet Africa brags no literature 
The monster colonialism sunk its jaws deep into Africa’s heart
Its ugly face, continue we to see
Developing underdevelopment
Disuniting the united 
Colour me...

If roses are red
then violets are blue.
If you were as dumb as me
you'd have voted for Trump too.

This election just past,
I never wanted to sin
but I'm so tired of Losing wars
when Earth's climate needs to Win.

I needed to act
not just say what we say
a little...

Cooperative Feministas
are not quite so much Competitive Manifestos.

In David Holmgren's introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,
he contrasts "Industrial Culture" with "Sustainable Culture"
kind of like comparing masculine LeftBrain culture
with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather than shorter-term dementio.

Anyway, Holmgren recognizes we could choose alternative words
for...

She started our discussion of EgoWin-EcoLogicalWin
Eastern NonDual CoArising Political Theory,
by reminding us that Deductive LeftBrain
has not always been WinLose competitive dominant;
there was a prior emerging moment in prehistory,
more of a herstory,
when WinWin cooperative EgoYang and EcoYin
were both LeftDeductive and RightInductive co-dominant,
when WinWin cooperation
knew life as...

It's weird
and sometimes wild
living with a non-LeftBrain verbal dominant
aspiring child,
now young adult

I find myself waiting for him
to nonverbally connect
and correct me
about my patriarchal domineering
economic and political ableist sins
of felt omission from commercial value
and, perhaps worse,
my passionately messianic
self-centered sins of silent 
unvoice-touched neglect,
noticing my own ambivalent...

I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love
I guess it wasn't so
Guess that's how the story goes
You didn't dig my flow
You didn't dig my flow
         Maxwell,...

White warriors battle in my blood and yours
Holy crusaders, a selfless, sacrificial corps
Sinister, malignant foes in red rivers quicken
Legions of paladins on the battlefield lay stricken

Now extend your scope, envision the whole globe
Behold this world wrapped in its rancid, rancorous robe 
Dungeons, asylums built for...

Western theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.) 
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.

Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.

So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.

Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation 
has a...

Many of you live
humbly and heartily
patriotically and industriously
nutritiously and faithfully
in Western and Southern States,

United in this time of shrinking reservoirs,
dying rivers,
hurricaned coastal residents

Displaced by floods,
invasive mold,
voracious rot and rats,

Barren top soil,
failing electrical networks,
drought,
inhumane heat,
decimated forests

Bereft of soil-restoring permaculture,
robust polycultural nutrition systems,
victory community re-engagement gardens.

U.S. long-term...

I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed
nightmare worst way 
to conscientiously drop wrong dead.

Mine is claustrophobi-recallish buried
half alive at best is worse
in a wooden rough pine crate.

I'm feeling angry with those who raped,
then buried me black in here,
because I no longer have commercial value
in...

So, Doc,
I have this huge black looming doubt
it is possible
in my disUniting State
to remain both Christian and Republican.

Really? Because...

Well,
because "Christ-like RePublican"
begins to sound like an oxymoronic hybrid
for self-dissonant identity,
encouraging those who bear this cross,
as I emergently do,
to perpetuate some identity
as Publican disempowered by fear
and anger
and...

Hello!
Hello in there?
Can you feel me yet?...

Welcome to the United States of America!

The U-nited States began as an incubation site
for humane freedom and justice,
although our elders were a bit ahead of
non-violent communication therapy,
mind/body communion therapy,
so we have run into some long-term monoculturing problems
with linking up...

What my kids too often fail to notice,
and what I am guilty of weighing too lightly, 
to avoid timely discernment,
are contrasts in density of opportunity
and toxicity of risks
hidden within our values and disvalues
themselves.

Disvalues shallowly accepted for short-term Win-Lose strengths
of economic and political leverage,
to eventually overpower...

I know how much it means to you
to protect my health and safety.

And, for this purpose,
to stop the terror,
end the ballistic killing
within these disuniting States,
please ban the NRA,
and stop selling guns
to those with histories
of mental illness.

The statistics,
facts,
both real and alternative,
all inform quite clearly,
if you would...

Disuniting each golden silken strand
from an antique tapestry,
then gently setting them aside
An ole' brush is lifted from a bureau,
consumed by silver strands of pilus.

Thread & hair 
intricately 
interwoven into a 
magnificent object-d-art,
now adorns a chair of 
satin splendor,
like a laciniate leaf from
slivers of antiquities.

Priceless treasures
brought...
