Best Hierarchical Poems


Premium Member Things

He was enamored by the way of things,
the color, the shape, the sound
and all that his senses could take in
whether the thing was large or small
or in-between or was superior
in the hierarchical order of things.

A raindrop clinging to a leaf
bloated with sunlight and about to fall, 
the taste of celery, cold and sprinkled 
with a little salt, all manner found a way
into his world where they were 
given space to be, 

some catching a glint of light 
from places too subtle to find voice
within the limits of a word,
but only in things made
into something more, silhouettes 
of symbol, simile and metaphor.

Narwhal and a Narwhal-Contest

Narwhal And A Narwhal

Saw the caption of a narwhal and reflected over it
A room for warrior community of north India in poesy?
Was intrigued by the chosen name yet slept over it

It remained there like my mocking mirror
Tweaking me to gear up to put on my armour
Held my quilled sword charted out my action plan
Learnt what a narwhal is, its modus operandi of survival

Its images made me burst into a gregarious laughter
Its poems created a ripple of sorts to tickle my bones
Narwhal and a narwhal for sure are clones!

One in the Arctic and the other in Asia
One underwater and the other on earth
One looks like a whale the other a whale of a heart

The arctic has a toothy tusk grown out of head
The asian has a tusky sword round his waist
The tusk dives deep into frozen water
The sword dives deep into the betrayer

Both the clan protectors live in pods 
Attuned to honest truths and energised in empathy
A smooth exterior unless the hierarchical swords are clanging

A unicorn and a grower of corn gormandize on fishy delights
The mythical spirit and the earthly spirit
Embody healing power and if unloved
These loveless souls die in captivity

Premium Member Contentious Kindness

Anger and kindness reach for richly polar opposition.
So, can I have any more perfect anger
than I have perfect kindness?
Rumi claims that anger reposes during kindness,
but sleep is not death,
while kindness anxiously awaits
during times of quick vexation,
deeply entrenched resentment and hurt
and fear of pathological repetition
of loss and pain.

Suffering wrestles between these two.
Suffering with grows kindness,
while suffering against grows angry.

Most of life plays out somewhere between
our competitive and cooperative intent
and suffering
mentoring co-redemptive intent,
regenerative practices,
comprehensive polycultural and multisystemic karmic grace 
of ecojustice,
therapeutic co-arising diapraxis.

No pain, no gain;
No gain, restrain,
retrain.

We redeem as we harvest
what we plant
in fertile compost
and toxic salt of dispossessive tears
and laughter at those we've left behind and out;
those and that nature we thought we could possess,
own, enslave, use, abuse, victimize, ignore, neglect,
commodify.

Sowing life with Self,
and Other,
in and on Earth's cooperative kindness
and challenging unkindness,
or planting angry monocultural competitive weeds,
and usually some of both,
self-righteous flashy egojustice
and ecotherapeutically peaceful mindfulness
within Beloved Polycultural EarthTribe's formative
normative co-intelligence,
reasons for all four seasons.

Kindness intends to suffer with,
and not against,
to reconnect our DNA memory--
we are a regeneratively co-evolving
deep-ecorooting bicultural Tree of Life,
growing both up and out Yang,
and down and internally landscaping
Yin-Yin ecologic
as Win-Win ecojustice Cooperative Gaming Theory,
rooting our reverse-hierarchical cooperative
and information network
all the way in and through our (0)-soul double-elliptical
Universal Synergetics Prime ReGenesis Project System
of fractal-holonic Design, Community and Communication Development,
Economic Development as Eco-logical and Environ-mental
Continuous Well-Being Improvement.

Kindness suffers with eco-injustice anger;
anger suffers against ecotherapeutic justice.

Premium Member Breaking Through Nationalism

Yuval Noah Harari
suggests that Nationalism's
Big Three Nemeses are fear of
nuclear holocaust,
degenerative climate trends,
and Business As Usual disruptions 
of eco-politically salvific technology.

When I first read this list
of his global Three,
the one that stood out
at least for me,
to potentially
break through our tendency
to see through lenses
nationalistically
is Earth's great climate pathology.

Still,
all three are LeftBrain dominant,
StraightWhiteMale privileged,
Patriarchal-Capitalist nationalistic systems
of scientific reductive-rooted secularism
and defensive 
extractive-infested 
militarism.

Aside from a home habitat 
in WholeEarth Crisis,
extinguishing all hope
of future peace health 
is our cooperative multicultural wealth
regeneration,
our ability to distinguish
which of these three
is most transparently
exploitive and disempowering
our SunShine EcoSystem,

To dialogically determine
which is most polyculturally vulnerable 
to inflaming
already repressive Patriarchal/Capitalism,

Which is most unenlightened
and monotheistically RightWing
StraightWhiteMale 
LeftBrain dominant

May also be the unholy Fascist fascinated
demonizing ecowomanist healthy choice
and Earth as sacred Goddess 
panentheistically denying,
Holy Nature/Spirit indigenous defying,
climatically degenerative Nationalism, yes,
but also, more fundamentally dualistic,
AnthroSupremacism
over ecofeminist healthy wealth
of fertile sacred Earth

Where monoculturing climate "change"
may become most easily defined
by Yanged out RightWing predation
fueled by a competitive economy
of hierarchical
from-above produced
and massively media marketed scarcity,
rather than from-within
ecological healthy robust wealth integrity.

Then again,
I could also see win/win opportunity
for health as wealthy polycultural activity
in co-immigrating away from global fear 
of nuclear nationalistic hostility

Emigrating toward global polypathic thrival
post-secularizing revival 
of sacredly uniting cooperativity
principles of Eartherapeutic Energy
as healthy integral international democracy,

NonViolent Communication fueled
by
and for
and with Whole
Holistic
Holy EarthTribal
win/win systemic
authentic 
intricate
exquisite sacred global integrity.

Premium Member Rose's Resonant Tree

I heard from our Tree today.
He and She were both
barely speaking to me
forgetting Her root system
all tangled up with Historied trunk of convexly hierarchical
branches of photosynthetic production,
rather than sharing Her permaculturing compost
more naturally and economically balanced.

I watched our Tree today
while fading memories of shared Him-Her nutrients,
breathing together,
following our full color spectrum
from light through double-bound dark
absence of presence
springing up summer
and falling down winter,
shared days and seasons and informating species,
riding times' energetic gravitating wu wei surf edge,
tipping point between past practice of warm v. cold memories
and future's predicted GoldenLocks intent,
"just right" Earth Day
growing lovely forest dreams
of mutual forbearance and organic porridge sustenance,
and synergetic gratitude,
not so much growling at one another
barking out Golden Rules' bicamerolling spiral head,
core ring of TaoNowLogistics.

Tree therapy for weak-rooted imbalanced ecopathology,
breathing in Him
then breathing out Her EcoLogos wisdom
unweaving binomially out again
embracing His Easter 
uprising recreation.

Premium Member Cooperative Earthcare

Where the Left

Premium Member Nature's Newstruggling Spirit

I have no rational faith

of natural becomings

No faith in "God" as ProGenitor of DNA/RNA

or politically co-empowering compassion.

No faith in exhaling purgative decomposition,

Premium Member Second Planning Principle

Obtain a regenerative yield,
a positive,
rather than negative, feedback loop,
better than a dissonant feedback screech
of mental v physical madness,
politically powering parties become monotheistic mobbing beatdowns,
economic corporations become cancerous hoarders,
churches designed by and for
hierarchical caste inequalities of mind v body irresponsibility
for plutocratic calculating authorities, dogmatically hetero, 
male dominant

and don't even ask caste preserving them 
to start thinking outside their god-given gangs
about transgenderal nurturing opportunities 
within Earth's nondual co-arising Paradise
at hand.

How do we distinguish
between a healthy garden and a weed patch?
By nurtured nutritional outcomes,
positive yield,
inclusively diversifying so more robust profit
growing healthy wealth polyculturing potential,
including harvesting of seeds and bulbs
for our next even more cooperatively self-governing regeneration.

How do we distinguish
between a church or temple or synagogue
and a courthouse?
As above.

How do we distinguish
between playing with abundant cooperative vocations
and working against competing scarcity?
Same answer,
where seeds and bulbs
are cooperative,
organic,
unfold reverse-hierarchically, from within,
composed of complex interdependent relationships
which nutritionally enable together
Earth's Common Cooperative Garden
producing positive nutritious yields

Health wealthing again,
for future faithful self-with-other 
ego/eco balancing
regenerators,
doing our best to obtain a positive every-day
at-home
responsible yield for us, together 
cooperatively-held, owned, governing,

common-sensed neurological authorities.

A New Beginning

Grey mosaic skies, clouds burst into tears that flow, 
Sounds of blistering wind relentless continues to blow,
Seeking shelters, ignoring hierarchical food chain,
A glimmer of hope as a beam of sunlight shows in vain,
Piercing through darkness in radiated rays of brilliance,
Sounds of going forth to replenish lost souls for assurance,
Symbols of blooms revealing continued intent to survive,
Winged life flock in thousands, ready for spring to arrive,
Out of hiding restructured beasts now ready and alive,
Replenished water supplies, vegetation underfoot, we strive,
A new beginning as life endures forgetting the past.

A Pink Flower

The blossom is a fussin' 
About the shining sun -
Colour and oxygen -
The bud bringeth the petal,
Where there is no cussin'. 

The pride of nature's platter,
The joy of the buzzing bee,
The thing by which we all fathom,
Just exactly what it is that we can be. 

The scent of the perfume,
In the gels of the body shop,
The standard for their products,
At which we've all had a pop. 

The claim of the respiratory doctor,
For breathing and atmosphere,
Is that air comes from plants, 
And that plants with us do cohere. 

But we need to be remember,
Before we become egotistical,
That plants evolved before humans,
That we come last, not hierarchical. 

There is no above or below,
The message of the flower,
The communication so opine,
That expression of power.
