Best Predicting Poems
I've noticed,
As our economic and politically empowered
too consistently lead with their Right,
All us non-elite women
people of color
LGBTQ
and indigenous people
predictably lean to our Left
To find a space
where we feel safer,
and a sacred place
where we might imagine
our lives actually matter.
I asked the Christian evangelical
proudly wearing his Make America Great Again
red golfing cap:
What day to day spiritual experience
of grace
health
humane relationships
rich in joy
well-being
regenerativity
integrity
would you lose
if God the Father of omnipotent Love
Turns out to also be
Earth,
the Mother of Holy
Holonic
Holistic GreenPeace Spirit?
As Eden on restored Earth
predicted
and iconic redemption experienced
by Jesus of Nazareth's fertile
multicultural Kingdom already at hand
during and after baptism
by immersion
in a sluggish,
yet still flowing,
still nurturing,
still communing Jordan River
of active hope
in faith
for omnipotent energetic love.
I'm still waiting for his answer
about what he would thereby lose.
Although I suspect it might have something to do with loss
of egocentric confidence
in StraightWhiteMale
LeftBrain-dominant
privileged miseducation
segregation
individualized competitions
for earning salvation
From fear of ego's mortal eternal suffering,
where fear of lonely timeless Hell
of painful neuropsychological isolation
outdistances communion
for eternal multicultural inclusion,
regenerative social and cultural health potential
already at hand,
Cooperative,
democratic
eco-political
restoring justice to green peace climates
of nonviolence
for WholeEarth global interfaith cultures,
Including secular/sacred
dialogical
dipolar
depolarizing integrity.
When I asked him
what he might gain
from Earth EcoFeminist Gaian principles
of synergetic health compassion,
he was equally silent
But, I saw a glimmer
turn to gleam
restoring internal sense of saint and sinner solidarity
with eternal longings to return
to ecosystemic opulence
To eco-politically reweave,
to globally restore,
to resume,
to make Earth's healthiest nutritional wealth
great nonviolent communication
and ecology
and theology
again.
Shuffle a dance, tap into your soul,
With these seventy eight cards of occult,
Then deal them out in this magical pattern,
So I can translate your result,
Now let’s read your energy, your future, your life,
Read what you want to know,
Read how Death with a King and a Queen,
Are eclipsed by the good Star of hope,
Your cards forecast a new flame, a new start,
How your happy will rise with the Sun,
Especially with this huge abundance of Cups,
That scream out a fantastic of fun,
Your cards, your life, your future, your past,
Are displayed with one beautiful spread,
And they say your life is going to change,
Yep, that’s what your Tarot cards said.
"I wish I could predict the future,
For there would be less anxiety to endure
As you would know the outcome,
Of that which was most worrisome
You could change some events,
So the outcome always made sense
The problem with this,
Always wanting your wish
Is that you would always be changing,
The outcome you were making
Punch,
Counter punch
So in the end nothing you wanted to see,
Turned out to be
Perhaps this is why God gave us faith,
To endure the wait
Say a prayer or two,
To get us through
Those difficult times,
Or a mountain climbed
So we are in a happier space,
To accept the results of “our” race
For we are stronger than we know,
To persevere through the challenges below
So rise up and achieve on your own,
The future you want known
For there can be no prediction,
Only personal dedication
That the road you are on is true,
And belief God chose this path for you"
