" When one least expects...hope illuminates"
Light Shines In Total Darkness
A moment in time where love should leave
when incompatibility muddy crystal waters
dissolves a tie that binds divine connection
widens the abyss as dream loudly shatters
Down on my knees I begged for a reprieve
gazes polarizing for to her nothing matters
in locked cages lay vestiges of desperation
intimacy now in tatters mutated to cinders
Aged moon will not commiserate then give
nebulous promises to stop onrushing tears
nor rays to light the path toward contrition
and turtle doves waving wings that glitters
Weary eyes reaching for salvation perceive
apparitions raising me up to alleviate fears
cleansing this heart throbbing in exultation
as grass springs anew...while grief withers.

Take Me
Take me places,
I have never been,
that is your job...
use your paper
and your pen.
Tell me about the snow,
then go,
to the beach and the sea,
then come back...
as you remember me.
Tell me about the desert,
about great treasure,
and maps,
to find more than,
we can
in any other way.
Now fill in the people.
Write them interesting,
and polarizing.
Make them sad,
and happy, and glad.
Make me one of them,
sometimes,
make me all of them partly.
Make me part of all the pictures...
smartly.
Clever you are,
author of my imaginations.
You come and go as you like.
It is not fair,
that I must stay
and play here,
and not there,
where everything
is so whimsy and free.
Muse,
you are so cruel...
to me.

Flint-lock alarm clock,
A blooming Lotus whispers,
Speaking while death knocks.
Enter the Grineer,
Led by their slaver captain,
Vor, whom they revere.
Servant to his Queens,
Seeking hope for his clone race,
Corrupted by greed.
Pure vampiric thirst,
Stalking sacred metal crypts,
For our holy blood.
To be clapped in chains,
Seconds after waking is,
A harsh good morning.
My power's severed,
Soft as a petal she stirs,
Polarizing shifts.
Tingling fingertips,
An awakening occurs,
Underneath my skin.
When my hands extend,
The earth quivers before me,
Laws of physics yield.
Between explosions,
And a daring escape plan,
I find my freedom.
My own dingy ship,
At least I have a first mate,
Ordis and his...friend.
Soundless we wander,
Waging war for the Tenos,
At Lotus's command.
Vor's campaign will end,
By the hands of gravity,
Tremble before me.
No, Speaker Ryan,
you do not speak for me
of the sacred probabilities
for growing civil kindness.
I respect your mind and your feelings,
but we are not, as you assert, all angry.
In fact, some of us think it is a bad, sad, and mad idea
to try to develop healthy and equitable policies for Others
out of personal anger and political fear,
when we could choose motivations engaging cooperative love,
restorative justice,
compassionate communication
and internal/external peace-making.
I am sorry you are angry,
but please do not project your concerns
about lack of viable health and safety outcomes
onto win/win-motivated me
And millions of others who believe that green
unconditional warm compassion
is not only more resonantly kind
but also more resiliently healthy
than red anger
and dark blue fear
of traumatic loss.
Both political and environmental scientists
can explain why monoculturally rabid
win/lose
0-sum
predative environments
are unlikely to evolve therapeutically stable
regenerative resolutions
toward healthy sustainable
nutritionally rich
and multicultural win/win co-empowerment outcomes
for you,
and me,
and we,
and Earth
Polarizing anger
is unlikely to produce deep economic ecological healthy relationships
and wide poli-cultural love communion
with AnthroCreator God,
or with awesome messianic EnLightenment,
or with EarthPower's indigenous bodhisattva wisdom,
much less all bilaterally intelligent three
Worshipped, celebrated, legislated, governed
not with militarized PTSD anger
or polarized fear-mongering stress
or unfree, costly hate speech
But eating with joyful humility
and drinking with open, trust-developing curiosity
producing Left-cognitive and consuming Right-intuitive
compassionate neurosystemic communication
SunLight liberating messiahs
and EarthPower conserving bodhisattvas
Fruit of resilient transgenerational
sacred passion/organic pleasure,
EgoMind v EcoBody chronic trauma-informed
AnthroCrown/EarthRoot
BiPartisan CommunioNations.
Just Me, Myself, and I
By LoLa
I got a head start on your wandering eyes
I got a hangover paranoia bleeding out the lies
I want the kinda future that you’ll never be
You’ll never be a very pretty sight to me again
I Hope you’re banking on your overhangin brow
I hope your friends are really hatin on me now
We know that this was never forever weather
There was a silver lining we couldnt find together
When looking back I never saw you comin
Comin up for air; we ran away from nothin
But now the sun is shining on my ocean eyes
Truer skies than I ever saw through your alibies
Dont even think that i’ll fail without ya
I hope you can see me shine without ya now
Give me a melody to bring these words to life
My life’s a self-destrctive, polarizing knife
Cause there are two sides to every weapon
You know I cant deny; these feelings building up
And I cant despise; the way the shade is wearin on me
I need the sun to burn this frostbitten heart and blind me
When people ask me; I’d it all again
I’ll spread my wings to end what you began
I’ll never look back; I’ll find another now
My life’s a love song in this lonely mountain town
And I will love my crazy eyes that never compromise
While me, myself and I, will flee the land of the wise
Spare me your suitcase of schitzophrenic memories
Busy bees surviving burning trees and strings of sanity
Mindless and blind; we’ll fall in love with it all
Forgotten in the wake of crashing waves of the fall
To find a girl to love in a reckless kinda way
The place that lives in the ashes of imaginary yesterdays
I believe
our current overly competitive economy of competition,
our AnthroPrivileged environmental era
of critical climate disarray,
is a blip on the screen of Earth peace history
and autonomic neurosystemic polycultural health
A Win/Lose Zero-Sum Deviant aberration
now drawing to a rabid LoseAnthro/Lose Earth
polarizing close
because both WinEarth history
and WinEarthTribe culture
have been kinder to assertive Win-Win confluence
and unkind to dissonant Win-Lose diffidence
AnthroSupremacist
financial and
monopolistic partisan policy planning
to deplete the opposition,
competing within a short-changed
universe.
I believe
we are in our deepest loving
and beautiful bicameral beating hearts,
full-blooded DNA/RNA logosed/mythosed
bilaterally intelligent syntax
Bad Rad Bodhisattvas dancing
in root systemic circles
of Glad Mutual Messiahs singing
with and for and of and through
deep crowning co-infested
RNA-natural networked life/DNA-spirited systemic love
prime regeneratively in/exforming Earth
messianic tribes
and bodhisattva cells.
I believe we needed to invest
in this competition and deductive-scientific transitional
over-swing of Left-brained linguistic/deductive dominance,
reductive individuating consciousness,
to learn together
how to cooperate our ecological
root systemic
politically empowering dance
And why it is important
to communicate
and invest
and produce enlightened songs
and consume engaging voices
as a globally cooperative network
designed to protect
cherish sacred bodies
and re-polyculture segregated minds
win/win aspiring
to reconnect
Beloved Earth EcoSystemic ProGenitors.
I Believe
we have an internal good health/glad wealth
body/mind
nature/spirit
ego/eco cooperatively owned
and EarthTribe managed landscape
of unfolding Tao SpaceTime
composed of binomial prime function
with Zero-Centric meta-polymorphic
regenerative
crown/root bicameral
messiah/bodhisattva
enlightening/empowering
co-intelligence.
I believe
singing is what Anthros can say
with resonant performance wealth
AND
dancing is what EarthTribes can do
with resilient engaging health.
I believe
we are a Society of Unitarian Universalist Bodhisattva CoOperators
within EarthTribe's self-synergizing evolutionary agenda.
Wealthy thrivers off polarizing put-down strategies
calcify toxic win/lose Capitalization patterns
building up around bicameral governing hearts
of our health-wealth struggling
ebb and flow financial system.
Investment of time and money,
nutrition flowing in established monoculturing directions
tends to stick there,
accumulating ever more fatty tissue,
monopolistic
monotheistic
monotonously chronic issues
of economic heart failure
ensues hardening of political life's
systemic trauma arteries.
More polycultural integrity
of Win/Win co-passion
sustains resonant
ecologically economic enlightenment
and neurologically healthy
resilient political empowerment
where monocultural supremacy,
with stressed-out hardening arteries,
will fail
to optimally thrive,
while sucking in environmental resources
until formerly healthy families
and communities
and species over-consume
and wilt
and fail
faster than our interdependent
systemic healthcare replacement rate.
What do starving and thirsty bio-health systems need from you
with you
of you
through you
to share with you
every nurturing grace we could cooperatively contain?
My answer does not end
with another monotheistic TrumpCard,
or anthro-supremacist
patristic
industrial ballistic
militarized Capitalistic
retributive justice competition.
These are in dynamic opposition
to all reconnecting religious feelings
and thoughts.
Hearts over-flowing with oppositional power-investment
will only further harden current monotheistic death-trends,
traumatically degenerative
EarthCardiac arrest
of panentheistically religious
indigenous
love-life revival.
Themed and labelled by fancy connotations
Ultimately we return to polarizing situations
Renouncing us, our world divided by our ways
This turtle generation of youths calls our study
Lay that lames them diminished of our praise
Enfold in their world of passivity and apathy
Gender insertions and racial assertions despite
Excite nothing still beyond the line of self, bare
Needlessly without responsibility: an alien blight
Emerges to the predecessors' eyes. Just to care
Regarding where they move and exist to need
Able bodied people like a water on the seashore
Tip only the edge of self and need and so recede
Ignorant of all space, time, empty to the core
Of layers and layers of culture and struggle here
Nurture in me a fear for tomorrow, and my despair
Imitate them and the world falls still and fall again
Slower and slowly into an abyss of existential pain
Nature's only image the soft turtle in hard shell encased
Out of our world, in its world alone, apart remain
Without involvement, empathy, or fault of modern haste
Les C. More back from the vay-cay holidays,
giving my poetry peeps
a look-see at an odd Klondike meet
He ain’t nothing but
small potatoes
Trying to live
big-talk lettuce large
His backsliding snowshoes
walk so holey
That short con grifter grin
spin tall tales —
Green giant beanstalk
talk guacamole-y
Mucho moneybag dreams
full of empty air,
that don’t ever avocado amount to nothing
Small-time schemes
of simple-minded plans,
which never pan out ... sub zero foul headed south
Always bringing in less than nothing
He ain’t never gon bandito be nothing
but a small fry —
Small-time peso, catphish criminal
on an asphalt pond coin hustle
Pennywise pygmy putting on froggy airs,
croaking a tough guy cry ... squirting big croc tear lies
Acting like dollar store muscle
But his big, bad Canadian woofs
be a poodle scare farce,
French barks full of nothing ...
giving him kennel plenty caged time
to have more polarizing, petty cell thoughts —
Little gray matter blowing
big bluster got busted ... Arctic cop caught
Leprechaun brain freeze melting grandiose dreams
into Yukon fools gold, iron bar moonbeams
Solitary mote musings eyeing elephantine endings:
more get-rich angles, poach-the-poor fantasies
Tiny-hearted man with big swindle hands,
always got a large lung bag of con
for holding paper vapors less than nothing
"If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the men to gather wood,
divide the work,
and give orders."
"Instead,
teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the management of personal relationships
and/or political unions
has degraded from empowering shared visions
for mental/physical health
and environmental safety
and ecologically wise economic prosperity
To disempowering unshared
unenlightened
fear and anger about what we can no longer afford
to keep losing
and continue loving
Then we have reduced
EarthTribe's inter-religious Golden Rule
to merely aspiring to do no further harm
to compassionate win/win reputations
now lose/lose trashed
Powering over hard lessons
in polarizing
victimizing
criminalizing
argue, fuss, and fight
trauma mismanagement
When we could have chosen resilient peace
while sailing through Earth's resonant beauty
if we could revisit
deeply listening for what we all need
before speaking with active curiosity
eye to eye.
To define is to articulate what lies within
a concept,
a population,
a word,
a paradigm.
To delineate is to articulate what lies beyond
boundaries of a concept,
a population,
a word,
a gestalt.
To extend learning,
and loving,
is to stretch this evolving articulation of boundaries
between what lies within
and without
a concept,
a population,
a tradition,
a still evolving word,
a revolutioning,
multiculturing,
creolizing paradigm.
When we become lost in reductive delineations
we can become distracted from optimizing polypathic definitions.
For example,
Republicans, and, to a somewhat lesser extent,
Democrats, in the USA,
have begun a new tradition,
and not a healthy one,
of becoming more articulate definers
of what it means to be One
by loudly proclaiming we are not of the Other.
Something similar could be said, unfortunately,
about feminists and patriarchal fundamentalists
as anti-feminists;
which does not really evoke strong hetero family values
in any traditional nutritional fertile sense I can think of.
I guess we could call rape a form of intercourse,
but not one that anyone would hope for
in any semblance of a healthy way.
Anyway,
when Trumpians try to define the benefits
of their proposed health care legislation,
the first, and often last, phrase I hear is:
It is not ObamaCare.
Perhaps the only change
will reside within a colloquial NonTitle,
leaving further delineating boundaries
between Trumpian and Obamian Care
to evolve further at a later devolutionary time.
But, in today's polarizing environment,
health affordability and sustenance
and pathology prevention issues
are increasingly above our active political leadership's pay scale,
beyond our collective rhetorical mission statements,
now becoming who we are constitutionally not,
because too internally divided by plutocratic-democratic complexities
of who we might have become
together,
in and among a healthier
wealthier
regenerative spacetime
paradigm.
(for J.B.P.)
A polarizing figure
A catalyzing force
A man for all seasons
He’s a man called Horse
A strong man in the wheelhouse
A tall man in the field
No crow of ruin touches him
His constitution, steeled
What dragon of today
Could touch that mighty pen?
Demonized, lionized
All faces at once
Like Einstein or Picasso
An immortal eminence
His enemies can’t catch him
Though they try and try
Their straw-man feats of idiocy
Are quickly sent to die
What dragon of today
Could still that mighty voice?
And now he fights the dragon
Of an ideology
That seeks to reinvent the world
And up-end reality
But Saint George has his hood on
His chainmail and his flail
And he’ll take that sword to the cynics’ board
And remove the serpent’s tail
So to prove that truth can’t fail
What dragon of today
Could singe that mighty heart?
