Best Excommunicate Poems

I was taught by   my father to be obedient in the dense forest to save the individuals trees, stop destruction to plantation. I cannot be silent under the detriment from lumberjacks to global emissions; I cannot sleep in the night, because I am...

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?

The Deacon’s Feet of Clay  

By Elton Camp

At the fundamentalist church, Larry is a deacon
As a truth-teller, he’s thought a shining beacon
“It is the lake of fire into which liars are thrown.
Truth I always tell so I won’t moan and groan.”

Larry exemplified the family...

Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate

Is this a true story or a legend still believed by the locals? 

Somewhere in Southern Texas,
there's a small church with a white marble cross
which sways as desert willows...
when the crisp ocean's morning breeze  blows. 


The Spanish Missionaries built it
with rocks that rolled down...

I must be one to hate secrets for it's not one
that my thoughts dictate my entire entity
My thoughts wander freely like rabbits at night
touching subjects labeled in bold: 'KEEP AWAY'
And in still, all I reside in my hope tank
my very wish: to find a love...

Our humane-empowering species,
steeped in regenetic history
of human nature connecting
disconnecting
reconnecting
preconnecting,

Has an unfortunate tendency,
especially in Abrahamic historical traditions,
to imagine that our own religious tradition
is not only free of historical-cultural adaptation
but also the one supremely right-wing Way
orthodox Truth
healthy Life.

And, further, guilty of inhumane hubris,
of condemning those outside our...

Fate you are insane! Fate you are insane!
	Do not fate on my life ever again –
	Wherefore is it that you only excommunicate,
	Are you not afraid of grudges and hate?

The often unnoticed first strategic step
in bullying
is to isolate.

Religious
political
economic
and/or sexual bullying
begins, already,
feeling entitled to pervasively disempower,
dissociate,
disinvest,
unenlighten,
excommunicate,
lock up,
terminate from employment,
send to the reservation,
asylum
ghetto,
wrong side 
of the LeftBrain dominant
self-righteous tracks.

Deeply separate,
divide and, thereby, expose
and bully
that Other,
or those Others,
who need to learn their place,
separate and deservedly unequal,
to relearn...

I reminisce I miss
You capture me by the heart seduce my soul
And feverishly make love to my mind
I did not know the impact of your passion...your vision
I am soothed by your presence
And long for the charismatic chemistry found
Only with one's significant other
Strong and steady like...

Once within our time
we birthed a CEO
who would be Pope,
but might settle for Grand Wizard.

He was selected by a near majority vote
of a highly confused Board
anxious for economic and political climate survival,
terrified of degenerating anti-ecological prospects
especially during their own exclusive lifetime ego-claustrophobic watch--
fake divinely authorized...

Waving a patriotic pennant is such the image 
Peaceful as a dove in war dirty as a pigeon
If Old Glory touches the ground 
Excommunicate the handler from the town 
Stars stripes power prepared for a military fight 
Worldwide respect was granted, Right? 
Playing a hymn...

For measuring fleeting successes
of punishing policing justice,
we have overly relied on recidivism rates
in response to curiosity about
How to decrease crime.

For enjoying compassion
of restorative
healing justice,
we rely on win/win 
empowering with community mediation
to grow deep resonance
hope for unconditional regard
and widely resilient integrity

In response to curiosity about
How to...

The Christians call it dogma,
but the left calls it P.C.,
the word ‘problematic’ is
how the left spells ‘heresy.’

The Christians called them ‘heathen,’
the left likes to say ‘fascist,’
unless you get them really mad,
then it’s ‘white supremacist.’

The Christians call it ‘penance,’
but the left will make you beg,
even if...

Words may come and words may go, and there are some we’ll never know.  But 
the secret lies in the letters you C, for they control the mystery of what we will B.

In the North we say A, and are often surprised by an...
