Best Ecocidal Poems

What is patriotism?

Pride of and for national, and maybe cultural, superiority.
Maybe superior health caring integrity?

What is nationalism?

Usually positive values about monocultural 
monotheistic
monopolistic
monochromatic identity,
but I guess national health charism
could also include negative evaluations,
begging for more international 
interdependent freedom 
empowered to do wealth good.

What is resiliently good?

Not...

So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.

What if we put our human nature genie 
back in Earth's home-nature bottle?

OK, already I hear Fundamentalists about the great transcendent Sacred...

We 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.

Political Science of EarthTribe Education

Really? That’s my topic?
Didn’t Paulo Freire already do this one?

Oh, I see..neurosystemic therapy learning 
and restorative justice mentoring,
including healthy pedagogical development 
of ecologically cooperative systems
doing the best we can
to avoid retributive traumas
of 0-sum 
save no sinners ideology

bless our matriotically nurturing hearts,

Those who get,
get more widely.
Those who want,
want more deeply.

Normal slow-grown inter-religiously co-invested evolution 
is not survival of the wealthiest and strongest species,
but thrival of the deepest win/win fit 
with least panentheistic disruption required
within,
whether we speak of polycultural enrichment
or meta-paradigmatic consilience 
re-ligioning multicultural creolization.

Evolution is BusinessAsUsual...

Identifying as a Taoist-Christian hybrid,
a polypath feasting on root systems
of East meets West
Right greets Left
Yin embraces Yang
does not make me a good Christian
or a healthy Taoist.

However, these bilateral designs
on polyculturing 
polypathic neuro-sensory healthy outcomes
do seem to help me become the best
transliterative mind
transgenderal body
bicamerally revolving Taoist-Christian

Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace

Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you

And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience
through sustainable community design

Relentlessly curious
and not the least judgmental
about who eats...

A Commentary on

"A Note on the [Patriarchal-Colonizing] Treatment
of Plant Names"
by Robin Wall Kimmerer, p. 385
BRAIDING SWEETGRASS:
INDIGENOUS WISDOM,
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE,
AND THE [SACRED] TEACHINGS
OF PLANTS

I too often accept
with nary a LeftBrain dominant thought
that our verbalized labels
for individual EgoPersons
are RoyallyCAPITALIZED.

To write
"Marvin Appletree"
would be to strip my tree
of His/Her sacred...

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask
when I was younger
and more disabled
and WhiteMale monotheistic

How might even Republican Red MotherTrees
avoid secularized Self-serving
by Capitalizing Other-undeserving

Instead of
separating and unequalizing
retributive justice disvalues
pimped by StraightWhiteMonoTheisticMale privilege
to criminally...

Brilliant writers
have recommended to younger students,
to only write if they cannot live without doing so.

Elder successful icons of artistic expression,
dance,
voice,
drama,
sculptors
have similarly advised apprentices,
do not do as I have done
unless you could do naught else.

But what about gardening
and parenting?
speaking of grace and beauty, lovely communication,
visually and...

Please correct me if I do not accurately speak for you,
I would not misrepresent your fellow readers
and writers and breathers
and heart-beaters

but I believe outcomes,
goals we most want 
our local 
and national 
and international political networks
to actually achieve,
further develop,
move toward a more optimally cooperative economy,
a multicultural...

It is love, not loss, we expect,
we long for and belong with,
we seek within
a cooperative economic network
rather than a competitive gain-over-loss
capital-rooted value system.

Love evolves more resonantly
and robustly
than fear
and hatred
and apathy
and dispassion,
yet we have planted our economy in competition,
in Win v. Lose survivalist presumptions,
where losing wants...

Monotheists are wrong to aspire toward evangelical control
of fear and anger actions and reactions
in absence of HolySpirit's loving mindfulness
of peace and passion and pleasure,
preforming our transformational intent
as discerned through daily practices 
stretching unconditionally warm compassion.

We devolve toward runaway monotheistic unease  
to become so satiated...

Once,
or twice, 
maybe thrice,
surely not
not fractal

A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted 
sometimes hysterically clueless condo
colonial-red predative brick 
badly bald aging building

With a sometimes soggy south walled school,
but not a more absorbent friendly pool

With a toxic Brownfield

Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more

Both Father Sun's timeless 
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms
regenerating rich 
empowering 
soulful soil
and surfing seas

And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and hearty lust
for too RightWing earned distrust

Unenlightened AnthroElitism
within our RoyalEnglish languaged...
