Ganges River Dolphins

Ganges River Dolphins are listed as, endangered
and once lived in the fresh river systems of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh
These Dolphins only live in freshwater rivers, and are essentially blind
and are an important indicator, for the health of their river’s ecosystem

These Dolphins get caught up in fishing nets, as human bycatch
and human overfishing, is depleting their prey, on their own patch
They are also poached, for human greed of their meat and oil
and humans have encroached, like henchman that deplete with turmoil

Premium Member Ego's Monstrous ComPetition

Earth had offered Her eco-centric contract
of love and synergy,
awaiting ego's personal response each day,
each moment,
eager to optimize wealthy health care cooperations 
of sacred grace.

Over an apparently inadequate lifetime
ego implied his competitive response:

I grow increasingly excited,
stimulated,
by this co-petitioning challenge
to frame our dissonance,
our operational riddles and puzzles,
games and illogistics 
and dark strategies

Measured in statistical decomposition
of the odds for sustaining life
by perfecting hatred and fear
of death's dissociative decay.

I question Earth's right to positive resolution 
and harmonic resonance,
as consonant co-governance
of enlightened ego empowering eco 
to play win/win, 
recreate without sin, 
and co-passion nicely together

This co-petition against wasted anxious time
fully exercises my right of conscience,
to re-search 0-sum ego-partisanship 
for absolute freedom from eco-dependence.

This co-petition asserts our human natural guild's unlovely preference
for contention over contentment
for sustained longing rather than resilient belonging
for uni-lateral freedom 
rather than ego/eco bilateral interdependence.

EarthMother absorbed this richly contentious compost,
this dissembling over cooperative rights of assembly
and competition challenging associative eco-creation
as too inclusive recreation,
divisive of ego's omnipotent present place 
in organic space
derived from eco's multisystemic functions 
within history's healthiest seasons.

It seems to me,
said She,
Time has unfolded an eco-systemic co-tractive gift,
born of Her binomial grace
in bilaterally felt space,
a belonging response to mutually co-tribute with ego
gratitude for bicameral mutuality
and full freedom of co-scientific consciousness,
to conjoin time's eternal moment
of past personal ego 
with future eco recentering life.

Post Scripted: "After all this time and space
repeating inhumane competitions and cooperative contractions,
deductive inducements to balance positive political space 
with negative un-ecological economic time,
thank you for remembering why RightBrain felt eco-normics
gave birth to LeftBrain's verbal ego-petitions
in our first through last breathing moment 
of win/win eco-operative identity."

Premium Member Maturing BiPartisan Passions

When you hear plans for reactive justice
do you also listen for responsive mercy?
Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge
against uncivilized behavior
swelling vibrant adrenaline 
thrilling your self-righteous bloodstream?

If revenge is your best defense 
against chaotic complexities of bad mad behavior,

If punitive humiliation 
is this justice by disgrace
you deem responsible,
comfortably live by,
protect and defend,
then you will be an often disappointed,
and disappointingly ineffective,
parent

And would best and brightest stay far away
from anything in law enforcement,
militarized defense,
courtroom dramas,
and gun permits.

Advocates and defenders of justice for all
are deep lovers of intentions and behaviors
good healthy humored
seeking our not so bad, sad, and mad renovations 
of white-washed purging rituals 
including Society's eco-political purifying rituals,
obsessive-compulsive demoralizing ruminations,
ruinations,
rambling echoes of great and small transitions
quaking Earth's moral indignation
steeped in Anthropocene rape cultures 
and pillage histories
of patriarchal justice
without matriarchal mercy,
much less Eartheatrical peace.

Justice without mercy
is like believing in love 
without practicing peace

Like trying to restore a moral climate for love
without a maturing polycultural life
engaged co-empathically together

All guilty of anti-Earth transgressions 
against compassioned innocents 
of most every unmerciful violence one might imagine
inside inhumane uncivilization

Until we fall Anthropocene bad
sad
mad
unglad apart

To reweave yet another new inter-re-ligious 
brightest and best day

Without such long LeftBrain EitherFor/OrAgainst
pathologically punishing shadows,
unmercifully thrown survival of the fiercest apart, 
not yet fully grown Anthropocene together

Mature sacred and organic
mind/bodies

Anthro/Earth-Tribe polyculturally thriving
merry mercy co-passion full 

Maturing polypathic peace 
EarthJustice regenerates.

Premium Member A Designer of Systems

1

I say I'm a designer of systems, plans
Man's
Parts that stand together, set in place to serve
Trees and planets, too, which are unplanned by us
The observant, wise man
Tries to understand
Name the parts, pistil and stamen
Rocks, eskars
Elements.

Winter is shuddering to an end, mud roads
Cardinal pairs
Robin flocks return that will soon pair off
Buds
Soils swell
Will I live to smell it again, learn the lobelias
Understand and name the parts
It ought to be a great comfort to be so insignificant
Go among weeds, a wind
Thinking to myself

One's never alone
A dichotomous key is needed, a book of twigs and fruits
Accumulated over time and generations
Without it mine would be a blank mind

To be blank but knowledgeable
Without any machinery
In a perfect silence
That is the definition of death for which we have only to wait
But in my panic last night I thought death's inert
Grace requires consciousness
Hold on long to the senses
At least a century, maybe more
A boy hanging upside down from a fence at sunset, counting clouds

Now we go to our daily practice
And chosen disciplines
Sustained by the satisfactions of being good men among our fellow men
Women
Choosing to do this and not that
With the finite days allotted us that at first seemed like a lot
They're now few
But the chickadee's life to the chick and the cankerworm moth's to the
      worm
Seem as long to them as ours to us
What question am I asking today
By now, past half a century, I should have chosen a discipline
And been satisfied

To be a war president one must have war
May you live in interesting times?wish or curse?
Squirrels, high in oaks,
Fiber, fat and protein in acorns
Strong runners, leapers, climbers
Should stay off the roads which some cannot avoid being where they're
      born
Natural selection is occurring
Those that look for machinery in motion
Hesitate or don't as needed before crossing
Live in larger numbers than those whose modus operandi's
Guessing
The ravens eat the fur and guts of bad guesses off the roads

I impose my own small order
Having chosen mountains over plains or shore
Go to my daily discipline
And estimate the motions of the seas and stars
Measuring my satisfactions by my children's satisfactions

Premium Member Dragons Make Great Heating Systems, Part 2

I'm afraid that this poem was too long to post in one part; here's Part 2, full title: 

Dragons Make Great Heating Systems 
(Until They Discover That There’s More To Life…)

The next month we received two plane tickets, for free, 
to go out to old “CA”; his life film to see.
In a bookstore he autographed our copies and then we had tea; 
the manager was told, we were his, “Family”.

“Such a gifted young dragon you folks have raised.” 
He declared, he shook both our hands and pulled up a chaise.
“You folks have given us all a great gift; 
your dragon, his talents, our spirits did lift.”

A free tour of the studio, we got that week and on the weekend, 
we went fishing, in dragon's favorite creek.
We got autographed pictures and souvenirs’ galore;
we’d never seen such publicity before.

Back home we flew and to our surprise;
our piano, we heard, was playing inside.
“That piano is ours!” I shouted and rushed through the door; 
it was no surprise; I should've known, of course.

There sat our new dragon, playing without any care.
“Welcome home”, he said, “come and see what I’ve prepared”.
He’d cooked up a giant supper, for us to eat; 
it included steamed pears, cole slaw and even chipped beef.

Wine he had poured as we took our seats; 
such a succulent display of tasty delicacies.
We knew what would happen, as he filled our plates; 
when he showed us the cookbook, he’d written, to date.

So just know, if for heat, a dragon you choose;
be prepared with a backup, for he, you will lose.
Especially if his insomnia reigns, if he dreams, is creative; 
your life will soon change.

We ate very well for a couple of years; 
then our eyes, once again, shed big giant tears.
Here came the plane tickets; we had a great trip.
We toured his studio kitchen; grew larger bellies and hips.

Home once again, we received another treat;
Dragon three’s an inventor, though he can’t boil a beet.
He’s managed to build us a new heating device; 
in the summer it cools, like we’re sitting on ice.

It costs nothing to run and dragon three’s fame;
We all celebrated with a glass of champagne.
All the dragons will visit, on the big holidays 
and we feel very blessed, that they share our family name.

Wrong Operating Systems

when you look at the world 
operating systems and find out  
there were made for the interests of few folks 
in the world and you keep silent. 
Imagine the thoughts of the victims 
who standing pacifically and 
expressing some important issues 
to clean without violences in the world. 
Some meaningful daily songs 
are celestial warnings 
which can be ignored
and blaming the singers 
In the future. 

Scripture says " Love the neighbours 
as you love yourself"
supporting wrong world operating systems express
hating the victims of these world wrong operating systems.  
Love it is shown in actions.

Premium Member Dragons Make Great Heating Systems, Part 1

If you have a dragon, a great furnace he makes.
belching his fire can heat your entire place.
But, there is one problem, non initially foreseen;
you see dragons, like people, have their own dreams.

We’ve hired a new dragon and now I will tell,
the story of a dragon, who did very well.
So well in fact, that fame took him away 
and we were left freezing, on a very cold day.

Most dragons hibernate in warm weather, you see; 
but ours was an insomniac; he just couldn’t sleep.
Dreams of grandeur kept him awake; 
his imagination soared; his ideas were just great.

He asked for his own blank journal and pen; 
he filled it up quickly and asked us again, to 
provide him with another and in them he stored, 
hundreds of poems and sketches galore.

One day I went downstairs and imagine my shock; 
he had hammer and chisel and was carving a rock!
He smiled as he chiseled and then moved away 
and I’d been immortalized in marble, that day.

Oh he was so proud; his smile how it beamed 
and he asked if I’d get him a bowl of ice cream.
He’d worked up a sweat, as stone carvers do 
and then he asked if we had any nail glue.

He’d broken some claws while carving his rock; 
Fortunately, we had our supply fully stocked.
He was patched up and really enjoyed his ice cream; 
into his journal he recorded more things.

He filled volumes of journals and more 
and then made notes on our walls and even on doors.
Well, we just couldn’t keep it all quiet, you see; 
so the media got wind of his talent and dreams.

They camped on our lawn and he gave interviews; 
would you believe it, the next thing we knew was that, 
he could also sing and play guitar; had offers from producers 
and publishers; someone gave him a car!

It was pretty clear he’d not be held back;
he gave us his car and went in to pack.
A limo was waiting to drive him away; 
we all shed huge tears during that long, last day.

He referred an old friend for our heating needs 
and headed for Hollywood; big producers to see.
Well, that was that, we felt he’d moved on, 
but we soon discovered that we were wrong.

To be Continued...

Premium Member Balancing Ecopolitical Systems

Balanced systems normally calibrate
through double-negative dipolar feedback loops,
in which a change in one cause
incites an oppositional change in another effect,
so they balance each other out over reiterative adjusting time.

Hungry systems eat.
Devouring systems become satiated systems, potentially,
or at least less hungry systems.

Time-to-stop feedback,
time-to-start feedback,
are two nondual dipolar faces of reciprocity,
a hypostatic union of internal causal subsystem
and responsively effected/affected/effective environmental subsystem
co-creating mutual sustainability climates
and landscapes,
mutually echoing 
dipolar co-arising
ecosystems,
discerning reiterative delineations
between 0-sum optimizing WinWin outcomes
and 0-sum suboptimizing WinLose competitions,
heading toward runaway LoseLose.

Double negative feedback loops
are also positive/negative mutual sufficiency feedback loops
accessible to double-bound listeners,
also responsive co-empathic,
polypathic loops feeding and starving back
to strengthen WinWin self-as-part-of-other ecosystemic disciplines,
building resistance to runaway viruses
taking too monoculturally much
through WinLose competitively suboptimizing acclimations
not yet fully resolved WinWin potentiated.

Ego survivalist rampage
is the monolithic megalopolis monster
recreated in reverse of creation stories,
in which antiheroes encourage us to recoil
from greedy hoarding feedback loops within.

Like looking in the mirror
expecting to find a positive healthy democrat,
and finding a too-fat plutocrat
still hungry for yet more
instead.
