Liberating the Lion

By Elton Camp and Maria Camp


A PETA two went to the zoo

Some cages they’d undo

A lion they freed

And with much speed

He promptly ran them through...

I'm musing with Jill Lepore,
historian (Harvard feminist, but definitely within brackets of general interest),
through eight hundred pages of These Truths
telling an other U.S. herstory.

She starkly says,
"Slavery is political"
while I had been thinking more of addictive economic 
and punitive domestic relationships,
enslaving social absence of healthy relationships,
Dr....

In a perfect world
maybe everyone would have opposite and same sexual attractions,
ambiguously passionate attachments
of compassion's resilient arousal.

On a perfectly sanctified Earth,
maybe every species would incarnate only opposite sexual attraction,
attachments of passionate ego-arousal,
male dominant belonging in predation
with female receptively longing prey,
monogamy as exclusive
as monotheistic worship,
monoculturally privileged...

I will be free.. free like the wind
to kiss the sun and burn in sunshine
Cherish my eternal peace
but the pain is also mine.

Pure like a pulsating heart
all the sufferings included
this bind will end soon 
like we never took a part.

A part of me in a...

I was listening, last night,
to a sympathetic defense
for conserving liberal arts
and producing deeper and wider liberating sciences
including healthy democratic
politically empowering science.

Once again
I am hearing about the persuasive prominence of identity,
how we label our ego-political selves,
as more important than personal nutritional narrative
for determining healthy value and...

I set myself free
   yet still in the here and now.
Eyes closed, breathing in and out

         Nothing else matters
    amidst the chaos and noise;

Once in a blue moon, 
words do fail me
But my pen never does. 
It's my silent voice.

A pen never betrays
a poet!
In mine, I'll always 
put all my love and trust

The mighty pen, 
always eager to bruise paper
Ink flowing freely 
like the blood in my veins

To what end art,
or music, or poetry,
but to frame a moment
and simply see something
of that moment itself,
ineffably ordinary and peculiar;
her seamed and wrinkled face,
a silence broken to uneven lengths,
the exact expression of love -
and in that moment have revealed
something you hide from yourself,
an ability to...

I doubt a benefactor,
philanthropist,
a short-term financial investor,
could optimally provide
protect
prevail with
an ecopolitically healthy therapeutic service

Yet,
intersectionally,
interdependently,
multiculturally,
poly-sensorily
fall far short
of co-investing in cooperative
sacred green ecofeminist
organic empowering
and enlightening communion.

Disempowering
codependent
anthrosupremacist services
in some way(s) Other,
commodifying non-profit and government intention,
subjugating potential enrichment rivals,
marginalizing direct service providers

These, often HealthTrust and WealthBeauty associated,

Surmounting imprisoning boundaries

my special child freely wheels himself …

ascending midst God’s boundless grace*

for faith-flight, wondrously liberating…

*2Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

She is known as Honorable Queen Mother Nanny. The lady was so sweet as sugar candy.
Enhancing the fight, smiling with much delight, knowing her cause was right.
She was the awesomely true Westward Maroon liberation queen in the highest esteem.
Hailing from Ghana's Gold Coast as an...

With each tick of the second hand

Imagination deposed
  all parameters set free

The Poets acquitted
  the logicians suicidal

"Let us bear Wisdom
The fallen maiden of light 
Her feet shall not touch shadows"

"Let the light flow down
To crown the virgin of light
Guide wisdom in this chaos"


This is based on the spiritual account from the Pistis Sophia Chapter 66....

It has been said that
“Wicked is as wicked does;”
And somewhere, I heard/read
“Death can be an award or a punishment;
The Creator both gives and takes away 
All life that is lived and passed on:-

Is it not conceivable that it’s possible
To destroy wickedness, rather than
The source from...
