Best Motherlands Poems
It's More Fun In the PhilippinesTreasured land splendor and glory
Pearl of the Orient Seas
Soldiers of known most emotional people
Loving and hospitable in patriot's blood line
The secret of velvet Three Stars and a Sun.
Fortified highest kind of water
Hallowed island of more than
Seven thousand and one hundred seven
Proudly her alone no other...

Thomas JeffersonIt interests me to peer past the drafting
and rewriting shoulder
of Thomas Jefferson,
unhappy slave-owner,
and John Adams,
with domestic slave-owner nuisance issues,
and other principle writing minds
of original democratic declaration and constitution shaping times,
as they listened to their own ecopolitically experienced histories,
some with fear and anger-mongering slave-owners,
some as...

The Unusual TravellerI am an animated spirit,
Living in time and space of unceasing transit
I have learnt to live in worlds of diverse odours and hues
An unusual traveller, a body of unique concepts and views.
I have dealt with figures of assorted cultures,
I have smelt the soil of distinct...

Populist PoliticsWhen I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy's life,
although I didn't know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism's
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,
Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for peace
motherlands where brown and black loves matter,
regardless of gender identities.

Rays of Our MotherlandAmong all Nations
North, East, West,
Stretching South
All over the world
Appear the rays
Of the most magnificent
Continent above others
The most adorable and admirable
Of all Motherlands,
The Landmark of Africa
Contented with bright,
Intelligent faces
Like gas particles
Moving into the air
Their fame is spread
And advancement moving their side,
Accompanied by favorable commends
The...

Force SourceLike lack of preventive health care,
far more love is lost
through passive neglect
than active abuse.
And so it is
perhaps a negative corollary
we, most of us,
have failed to notice,
neglecting the industrial, then colonizing
history of unhealthy abusive gunpowder
moving toward western colonization
from Eastern playful,
and considerably more mindful and lovely,
origins of...

Running Away From Hibernating RenWhy is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?
Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering unpaid taxes
to invest, instead,
in WinWin EcoPolitical Cooperative Ownership
for Health-As-Wealth EcoRegional...

PulpitThe body and the blood
are of those who inched on their bellies
underneath barbed wire
and never lived to be born again.
Motherlands shackled at the feet of their Fathers.
Who mourns at their whitewashed bones?
Bleached by the desert Son,
Marked with unnamed crosses, they scream the names of Holy...

A Child Collects Some SandA child collects some sand with hand
And so he calls it "motherland".
To some sand, castles are built high
Flowers are grown for dewy morn
Flags are furled in cloudy sky
But by fort's flag the flower's forlorn.
Children gather some sand with hands
And so they call it "motherlands"....

Who Shows UpWho shows up
for cooperative health opportunities,
reducing pathologically competing risks?
Who shows up
for extended family potluck meals?
Who shows up
to give and take
during local pot-latch
cooperative council meetings?
Who shows up
to embrace and invite healthy WinWin climates,
wealth arrayed lilies
in health-invested fields?
Who shows up

Animated EarthintegrityNothingness in spirited spaces

windswept re-connecting
re-ligious experience
ZeroZone intuited
and non-violently
not ultra violetly re-communicating
economic green co-investments
and political win/win empowering
healthy wealth, resiliently abundant
polypathic potential

love's green/blue reweaving
ZeroZone nothingness
of denatured

of capitalistic righthand dominant fundamentalism
of deductive reasoning
As if such empty rightbrain inductive denialism,

Counting Cumulative CostsWhat does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?
Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.
Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot divide such universal costs
against ego resilience
too willing to sacrifice ecosystemic...

Starting With Not SureI'm not sure about this
entertainment
divorced from engagement
issue
But,
consider the following
a hypothesis,
a Thought Experiment
in the Indigenous MotherLand
and SacredWaters
of ecowomanist political theory,
Part of my own experience
betrays a rightwing bias
against superficial entertainment
And, by association, self-promoting entertainers
living out shuttered
and too often unshuttered cluttered
Reality Shows
confusing inside unsafe voices
with healthy outside choices
Most...

Fear of LostRipened blood still sleepless
On the staircase of memory
Flying with reliable winds
Mild embrace of the winds
Imprinting the uprooted roots
Sculptures now govern all
Breath of independence
Floating in the midfield of birth and death
Life in the sharp blade of crops
For many corpses, wounded bodies, flowing blood
For the lost chastity...

You Shoud Be HereI know you are not here
Do you know who are you?
The son of this land where all your
mothers and sisters are made bitches
where all your brothers and fathers body
become numbed by whips in the rich man yards
Where the children face vanishes in
the wombs before...
