Not Harvest ThanksgivingI do so love harvest thanksgiving,
That time of year which celebrates agriculture,
When church flips from being god-centred,
To remembering farmers and good food manufacture.
It’s not an Armenian or Amish allusion,
‘Cos tins are given no problem;
Natural remedies aren’t primed as...

Bucky Fuller's ReVival GhostLet’s say the number 1
iconically speaks in Left-Yang Universal Language,
root of ecosystemetrics,
while PlaceHolder (0)
bicamerally dreams in Right-YinDiPolar ReGenerative PolyCultural Action,
health-flow of autonomic, enthymematic thought and awareness
influenced by feelings of EarthCentric BiCameral Consciousness
as Plan A,
so number 1 is actually each Ego’s Plan B holon of...

Parallelismus Membrorum
South Africa 2019A country of dreams has burst its rainbow at all ragged seams
In a state of affairs illusion of fusion and widespread delusion
The constitution hallucinates as night settles scores of deceit
Bereavement takes its toll in anger and violence as writing on
Walls depicts no happy graffiti but...

Gotta Get Down To Go Upyou gotta join in the struggle for the ill-gotten gains
of the movers and the shakers on the streets Wall and Main
we will take what we are due like the Sioux we'll count coup
on the heads of the masters and their double-talkin pastors
on the bankers...

Haunted By WonderI have become haunted by therapeutic wonder,
within wonder,
surrounded by Wonder,
made of Wonder
these past few days
and traumatically troubling nights.
I have also become terrorized by vindication,
vindictive Win/Lose threatening relationships
learned from retributive justice philosophers
who are also parents
and teachers,
so also soldiers
and autonomous entrepreneurs
and Win/Lose economic and competing political leaders
vindicating...

What Did You GetBy ten A. M. the presents had all been opened
and breakfast had been served,
But there was still one more tradition of the holiday
that needed to be observed.
Every kid on the block had to meet outside
to see what gifts each one got.
Did they...

Prayer For the Sacred GaiaPrayer for the Sacred Gaia
Lord God,
As we suffer in this famine of lack, we come humbly before you, confessing as the tax
collector once confessed, begging you to have mercy upon us.
For in a spirit of greed and profligacy, we have forsaken the earth and one...

The Beggars Delighta pretence of goodness
dimes on the dollar
blood on your collar
pieces of diminutive generosity
tramps love handouts
look for direction of the middle class
one day my colour won’t matter
breaking down the barriers
leisurely indifferent realists
NYC subways monogramed
a home but...

Narrative
Telling StoriesWhile there is no story at all
unless it has at least two sides,
when it comes to ego's narrative lines
and epic paragraphs,
we have great difficulty in casting ourselves
as other than a one-sided protagonist story,
which others might see as including too much self-indulgent glory.

Ordeal For RealWhy did Donald Trump emerge,
As a presidential frontrunner?
Why did people call a businessman,
To be a political gun, a stunner?
Politics is in disrepute today,
Requiring tight legal regulation,
Because advantage has been taken,
Financially, by the means of representation.
UK politics has...

Independence DazeAmong PermaCulture Designers,
planners and cooperative schemers,
choreographers and mappers,
therapeutic lyricists and historical poets,
and probably comedians,
there is a saying,
a principle of experiential truth:
For every healthy function
we discover many nutritional elements.
This has to do with commitment,
most resonantly shared with GaiaEarth,
to invest in polycultural multi-enculturing functions
to disinvest away from...

Taking Chances Second GuessingNever have put all my faith, in someone I've not met
but when it comes to Presidents, I had to hedge my bet
I listened, just to what was said, from the horses mouth
teleprompter easy read, what's from his heart went south
Everyone just turns away, because of...

It's Time To Make a New Year's Resolution: Or Five:For those I've badly wronged, I'll offer restitution.
Those I feel wronged me; I'll not seek my retribution
Should money come my way, I'll try redistribution.
When someone needs a hand, I'll make my contribution,
and, should I fail in these, I'll seek my absolution.

The Deal
(The current attitude seems to be)
Written: by a Tea Party conservative
January 2015
We live in a time when sacrificing for man’s common good is gone,
The attitude seems to be, get all you can as long as it’s free.
