Premium Member Miracle of Hypocrisy
I was listening to Cornell West,
who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,
situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,
disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also...

and other principle writing minds 
of original...

Oh' Dear Mother
Look upon her blackness 
And be filled with delight 
Her blackness
A beacon among the insipid faces 
around her
Proudly she walks
Proudly she sways 
with unsurpassed conviction...

Premium Member Cooperative Pirate School
Students conservative of body-health care
invest as necessary
in bowing and submitting subservience
to orthodox heterosexual vampirate mentors,
fundamentalist badnews evangelicals
sucking on pre-meditated rapture
of Heavenly bloodsucking EarthNatures.

To meet conservative...

Premium Member Compassionate Democracy
I believe,
rooted in limited personal experience
of unconditional love,
the purpose of democratic governance
is NOT FREEDOM of autonomously empowered persons,
segregated communities,
self-isolating economic states,
severed biosystemic regions,
patriotic partisan nation-states,
isolated...

Premium Member Decomposing Love
Can you truly love a rock,
you've never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,

Shapes of cotton wool clinging to each other
Shutting out the sun with its white and grey cover
The air becomes thick as clouds start to darken...

Premium Member Repair Justice To Restore Peace
Before restoring outside perfection,
perpetual pleasures
of prosperous peace

I remain responsible,
compulsively responsive,
habitually receptive
to repairing inside win/lose
past competitive aggressions,
negatively suppressive 
non-communications

My most resilient repentance
includes self-forgiveness
for over-stressed addictions
to trauma...

TROUBLE 
SOURCE (PTS), for

of the 
BRIDGE TO TOTAL

others---you are now
