Best Unitarian Poems


Premium Member It Feels Unfair

It feels unfair,
the doctor said,
to blame all pathological -isms
on LeftBrain dominating
NorthWestern enculturation;

Too geopolitically ecological,
too globally sweeping,
where my reason looks
for biological neurology,
more inside linguistic powers
more intimate.

But, both neurology and ecology,
both natural biology and spiritual theology,
these four each and all agree,
whether secular or sacred paradigm
for discernment,

Monocultural ecosystems
divest of originally healthier
polyculturally robust wealth,
resilience,
multicultural resonance,
harmonic compassion.

So it is with LeftBrain dominant egos,
monotheistic dominated ego,
securely enslaved servants
divest of originally healthier
multicultural
robustly cooperative,
and compassionately felt,
true polypathic wealth of empowerment,
multicultural enlightenment

Trusting
liberal cultural-istic phobias 
conjoin with 
conservative historical-isms
to regenerate more democratically robust
global ruminations,
discernments,
political  power and light dialogue,
cooperative investment.

Yes,
well,... the doctor responded,
racism
and colonialism,
and capitalism,
and sexism,
and anthropocentrism,
and ageism,
and bullyism,
and narcissism,
and even omnipotent monopolistic 
closed ego-systemic monocultural monotheism
of LeftHemispheric enculturing verbal dominance
feel too aggressively unfair as well.

Premium Member Universally Unitarian Pride

Buying corporate profit tickets
to this June's PRIDE event
does not feel therapeutic,
where once lived public trauma.

Another annual rite
of well-bred socialization
political masturbation
with no flavor of resistance
to white-washed Capitalism's greed,
to straight Patriarchalism's need
to rapaciously breed
to gluttonously feed
on humble margins
of truly empowered
LeftBrain dominant humanity
not RightBrain depressed
demonically repressed
satanically oppressed
devilishly suppressed
Right supremely unimpressed
by deeply felt insanity
born a profanity
against Earth's Straight 
White 
MonoTheistic God

False idol
of patriotic
nationalistic pride
parades before
and lingers after
sins against EarthMother's uncapitalized
poor in spirited nature

Our planet's
traumatically wounded child,
x-rated
x-rayed
x-cised
by homophobic
feministphobic
Afrophobic toxins,
divinely inspired hate,
monotheistic vengeance-is-mine
militaristic fate.

This, and future, summers of inclusive love,
I would give away invitations to proud PASSION,
co-passion
compassion
compassionate integrity
passionate enquiry
of Left erect
correct cognition
greets Right flowing
enlightened growing
synergy glowing
sacred felt reconnecting 
concelebrations

Of timeless
dipolar co-arising parades,
out-rageous raving displays
of globally spectral
spectacular
spiraling circular rainbows
of regenerating strings
and co-passionate things

Sacred hope promises
form ribboned resonant faith
for love
of EarthTribe's holy
co-emergent DNA diversity
deeply held 
in silent summer whispers

Inviting year-round
and full
and sweaty wet PASSION plays
stories
narratives
epic songs,
starred night light 
and lunar displays

Flowing Right
Left strength
universally full
uniting Color

Healthy polycultures
wealthy multicultures evoking
not revoking
compassionating 
never mindlessly sedating
fully woke
out celebrating
Earth's PASSIONTribe.

A Former Slender Man Lapsed Unitarian Anorexic

A former slender man (lapsed Unitarian anorexic)...
deplores adipose tissue gain

No Holiday music can soothe savage beast
washboard abdomen weight watcher's dream fleeced
skinny bag of lovely bones permanently leased
body snatcher somewhere amidst policed

madding crowd of carolers singing,
where mine sinking spirits ceased
rising today December 18th, 2020
analogous how unleavened bread
(i.e. matzo) lacks yeast.

I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely myopic)
in preparation for here goes
another warm shower quickly
relaxing this senescent
body ready to doze

soon after lathering
this blubbery body
most unwanted fat grows
on me, no matter healthy diet
of worms, or how I stand,
not so easy (Etsy) as add a pose

zing losing battle – Mary Jo's
if and geeze us of bulge ill flattering
particularly quiverly, sans white
"WALL" tire tread fully goes
steely belted around lower
abdominal area like lava floes

siring unsightly expose
yore squishy Jew dish priestly
punchy, plasma paunchy, gristly...
pillow like marshmallows
fittingly, rotundly soundly
identical with other schlep

tin (tin tabulation) grungy hobos,
this lap pissed lard (lord) Who Lee
bemoaning, how ilk readily knows,
where unwanted bulky flab...
most detested - hence Corp Yule Lance
leaves noth thin to noblesse oblige,

know bull eats obese,
anorexia nervosa or chance
barking out orders reminiscent, when he
hapt tubby a caller wannabe at
weekly square and/or contra dance,
now requisitioned to insulate

and excessively enhance
body electric can be mushed
into likeness of fleshy France
or repurposed into expanse
resembling any country,

whose name Kants
be easily pronounced, and historical
events glommed together recognizable
as Ataturk with a lance
bequeathed to rule World advance

sing gluttony as his divine providence,
thus requires deep dish allegiance
(non - fiber - binding contract)
for eats and make decadent
every fleshpot gourmand
stretching consumer cellular 
skein to capacitance

bestowing guaranteed deliverance
with their rolling
ballooning massive circumference
into orbit with Earthly moon officiant
eternal fondue irrelevance!

Quirky Suave Unitarian

After most recent shower,
and particularly washing hair
(then shaking head
analogous to sopping wet dog
drying her/himself after a bath),
I immediately said helloo
to Long lasting fragrance Suave
essentials Daily Clarifying
Deep cleansing Shampoo,
which permeated mine scalp
facilitating healthy follicles.

More so frothy lather upon noggin
after getting rinsed out
yielded bounteous, luscious, luxurious,
and marvelous full bodied tresses
reminiscent when yours truly an adolescent,
a veritable long haired pencil necked geek
whose hirsute trademark
still characterizes atypical sexagenarian
above mentioned characteristic
still (after scores of years)
emblematic of this enigmatic poetaster.

Ever since being in utero
soon after seminal fusion
insync with fallopian tube bearing ova
begot zygote courtesy said gametes,
and engendered silent boom
after piercing zona pellucida
creating microscopic flume,
nevertheless collection of cells
coalescing into embryo
eventually manifesting into yours truly,

I painstakingly took minuscule
comb and brush to groom,
and dreaded most fearfully being locked,
where pair of outsize scissors did loom
threatening to cut thick,
what could best be envisioned analogous
to imperceptible fancy plume
hich features specific feature
drew medical community
(i.e. namely human reproductive specialists)

constituted extensive expanse
within blastocyst very limited room
crowd sourcing out rivaling curious onlookers
formerly geared up
to espy King Tutankhamun's tomb
can you dear reader believe
a hairy globule within the womb
became global attraction
viz - of a young fecund Harriet Harris,
cuz about nine months later
out the birth canal I did zoom.

Premium Member Universal Rhymes in Unitarian Time

If Eastern co-redemption
integrates unitarian-longing bodhisattvas
perhaps
Western peace-salvation
engages universal-belonging messiahs.

When highly functioning just-us
CONSCIENtious organic bodies
also fill
1 eco-zone of co-redemptive dancing

Then deeply flowing peace-full
RELIGious sacred minds
also become
0-ego-zone of salvific
EarthPatriotic/GaiaMatriotic
resonantly singing 
resilient dancers.

Just because relationships resonantly rhyme
doesn't mean they are always
and everywhere True
AND
Because resilient correlations rhyme
throughout reasoned time
and seasoned space
also does not kindly mean we are never
and nowhere
not amusingly
not paradoxically
falsely empty when not truly full
messianic universal singers
bodhisattva unitarian dancing
EarthPatriotic sacred wealth songs
not not GaiaMatriotic organic health dancing

Just as PolyNomial animism
OR
Not PolyNomial monotheism
open questions
may invite
Universally PolyCultural
AND NOT
Not Unitarian PolyAmorous
co-passionately communicated
re-ligious cobinary responses

If Animistic eco-redemptive dancing
invites unitarian-longing bodies
of organic bodhisattvas
perhaps
Monotheistic ego-salvific singing
engages universal-belonging minds
of sacred co-messiahs.

Premium Member Touch the Earth, Reach the Sky

Touching Earth,
reaching sky.

I walk salt shores
where all Souls fly
over joy's ocean,
under sad bad lands
my faith in quests
we could understand

When to touch this Earth
to feel our sky.

Wise fools ask
our reasons why,
In glad lives
our answers glow,
in sad love
we learn to grow

How to heal our Earth
and hear this sky

We are born
while I shall die,
Life's my time for in between,
to build you a star,
to chase our dream

Touching Earth
while feeling sky

Hugging laughter
feeds my cry,
May I see
what we can give
for future's child
to sacred live

We touch this Earth
to reach light's sky

Soaring courage,
healthy high,
All Souls joining
in Earth's flight
to touch Her right
I reach through night
for love's last 
last 
last splendid sight.

Premium Member Unitarian Universalist Woman

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST WOMAN

Sometimes you see your spouse 
of many years as if for the very first time!
Yesterday I realized that there is a “look”
in my community and in my home too
For those among us with unlimited funds
that look is fostered by Eileen Fisher,
but in the case of my wife by J.Jill
(Do we look like money to you?)
White blouse, black slacks or blue jeans, 
gray sweater, a colorful scarf, ballet flats
and for my wife specifically, a little lipstick
and nothing else needed
Thank God (if you must) the gray hair,
the beauty and the kindness are free!

Premium Member Earth's Singing Species

In Earth's future Golden Age,
during Her time of Gaia Polyamorous,
thou shalt become reborn

Not solely known as soulless Ancestors,
transported here
as Earth's lonely Passion Singing Species,
whose reweaving warps and wars take place 
only on sacred dance floor space

A natural neurosensory race
toward matriarchally enlightened
pan-enthusiastic empowerment.

Sage musicians
known for Gaia's highest and best use
of non-abuse,
co-infested Taoist Real-Woke Estates

Wu-Wei wondering
why bodhisattva children have been left
unsafe and bereft

Suffering for capital sins
of Straight White Patriarchs
not quite monotheistically blessed enough
from zealous toxic dregs
of thine owned Anthropocene 
idolatrous image.

Not sufficient gratitude
for positive neurosystemic attitude
blessed by Love Song sacraments
designed by WaterBearers

PreGaian Peace Warriors
poor in herstoric spirit
wistfully disinheriting caste-preserving sins
of non-womanist failure
to follow Truth and Beauty balance

Success in leading
LeftBrain-RightWing systemic 
neuro-sexsensory
polyculturally inter-religious 
intelligence

Without Historical Stage 
capitalized credentials,
Win/Win compassionately amusing
Gaian Pleasure's Sun

Of crucifying crosses
bearing dispassionate sins
of unpleased
Straight White Western Patriarchs

Who would rather fight
to win peace
than sing resonant Love Songs

Dance Lust Longs
to belong more resiliently impassioned
Universal Crowns

Sweaty salvation
for bodhisattva Gaian Goddesses
Unitarian Roots
co-redeeming

EarthTribe's sacred psalms,
indigenous proverbs
rooted in sacred animus
crowned by organic animation

While sacred musing
Gaia's stirring organic musicians
Singing Species songs.
