Best Multilateral Poems
Powerful Polite ImaginationsImagine with me
that your local
political
economic community,
municipality,
bioregion
is a communication network
already at hand,
like a potentially benign kingdom
or mutually informed democracy,
Which is what some residents actively hope for
as a peaceful sacred communion
and others engage in active voting campaigns
and political party platform design
for restoring Earth Justice communities
as architects for...

Feeling BetterSystems,
ecosystems,
and ego body-systems,
patriotic systems
and feminist systems
mutually improve,
grow more robust,
resilient,
resonant when WinWin relationships
between diversely paradigmatic elements
within said system
and between unsaid systems
improve,
grow more healthy wealth together
well-greased co-operative channels
and web-structures
WinWin overwhelming WinLose
competing smaller self-centered investments.
Capital small-self promotion tends to over-reward historical success
to those elements born already elitely connected.

Have You EverHave you ever sat on a fence
And watched the birds fly by?
Have you ever looked through a lens
At the bedazzling night sky?
Ever thought about the pens
That trudged the great pages of history
Or the darkness that now shrouds the mind in mystery?
Have you ever wandered ashore
Close...

Sonnet
Hymn To FarewellWhy does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?
Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?
Even resonance
can become monotonous,
whether you are a polypathic ethologist
or a monotheist
or harmony-synergy...

Empowering MemoriesAs I age into merely spiritual memories
of those sadly/gladly left behind
in less/more egocentrically embodied forms
Co-acclimating/aggressing functions
feel more like contrasting/constrained flows
of positive/negative
sensory-neural energy,
communication systems,
nutrition/digestion networks
of regenerating/degenerating
natural/spiritualized memory.
It does seem
our spiritual advisors
lesson-givers
teachers
scripture narratives
stories
preachers
communities
economies
directors
democracies
theocracies
leaders feature
pathologies of heart
and mind
and body
Far more than how to positively mentor
healthily mediate
faithfully facilitate
co-gravitate spiritual...

Poverty of HealthPoverty:
Unusually limited access

nutritional poetry,

The four WealthFaces of liberal love.
Poverty of Health derives from

Win/Lose survival pressures,

HereSpaced restorations of democratic access
to healthy non-institutions.

An incarcerating,

Relearning Manifest DestinyWhat did you learn to play
in school today?
Hedging future winning bets
against lost devolving yesterday
I learned religious history
of manifest colonizing destiny,
Responsibility to over-rule healthy integrity,
Authority to addictively enslave
our lesser prey,
womanfest cooperative destiny,
without duplicity.
How is such sad destiny most powerfully manifest?
Destiny unfolds boldly
in each Here with Now...

Pursuit of Healthy DemocracyDemocratic pursuits of healthy constitutions
and health policy discipline
are often associated with growing compassion,
global enlightenment values
for well-being and happiness,
And peace and happiness, in turn,
associated with prosperity, both natural and spiritual wealth,
never one without the other.
This historical association includes integral Earth prosperity
hoped for during the Great Enlightenment
climaxing...

Changing SystemsI'm reading this book called
"Systems Thinking for Social Change"
by David Stroh.
Although this is not his paradigm of systemic choice,
He talks about WinWin strategizing
for optimal outcomes
Rather than WinLose compromises
for suboptimal conservation
of the miserably under-performing status quo.
Future:
A. To strengthen partnerships,
clarify potential cooperative benefits
to both (all) parties.
Past:
B. Revisit...

Reentry PrioritiesI find imprisoning parallels
between early Nazi Germany
and early Roaring Trumpian 20s USA,
between fascist and fake propaganda,
between judicial patriarchal-privileged racist stockpiling,
between CEOs living above our democratically inclusive laws
while self-pardoning for agressions,
trespasses,
debts against a cooperatively co-investing society,
between mutually irresponsible yet authoritatively self-justified
aggression,
violence,
betrayal of natural-spiritual nonduality,
like royalty of...

Healthcare NightmareHealth care standards
are climate care constants
and resilient variables.
Health care giving and receiving constants
across cultures and diverse species
of plant and animal,
and perhaps even mineral, lifespans,
each and all declare
mentoring mutual health is positive,
between ego-center
and eco-exterior,
Yang and bilateral, or even multilateral, Yin,
squared and cubed
and fractal and octaves

Recentering EarthconsciousnessWhen I see and hear,
touch and feel,
something
Somewhere unwanted
someplace uncherished
egocentrism
Making alienating choices
that follow group win/lose competitive norms,
this constellation of nationalistic patriotism's
monoculturing beliefs
and unbeliefs,
anthroprivileged values
and disvalues,
provoke out-raging
hypocritical anger.
It is only in epic transition times
when climatic health and safety social issues
emerge and re-emerge,
evolve and revolve,
inhale and exhale,
inside and...

Pulling, Not Pushing, TogetherWith climate fragmentation, unholy pathology
comes ecosystemic over-specialization
supports growing competitive ego-autonomy,
playing a WinLose ZeroSum devolutionary depressing game.
With climate interdependence, holistic health
comes ecosystemic resilience
becomes cooperative ego/eco-restoring resonant compassion
playing a WinWin NonZeroSum
Whole integrity-potentiating Earth HealthJustice System.
Most, if not all, of us
live somewhere between these everyday climate trends,
