Not Harvest Thanksgiving
I 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...

Premium Member Bucky Fuller's ReVival Ghost
Let’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...

A 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 Up
you 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...

Premium Member Haunted By Wonder
I 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 Get
By 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 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 Delight
a 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...

Premium Member Telling Stories
While 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 Real
Why 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...

Premium Member Independence Daze
Among 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 Guessing
Never 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...

Premium Member 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. 
Sit on your rear, sell...
