Best Unwhite Poems

Could we be doing our best
to invest in Earth's cooperative health markets?
While you sell our most competitive killing machines
to our Saudi Arabian cousins.

Referencing this touchstone as an ecopolitical WinWin,
unlike Parisian multicultural investments in climate health,
as LoseLose,
remains upside down of any truly love-life frame.

Ballistic sales and...

At the first piece of twilight 
the night's fleece goes astray.
Nebulous clusters of unwhite 
destines into mass decay.
And to the chorus of birds on height:
Welcome, oh sweet break of day!
Then the dwindling songs of coyotes goes finite
cause it's morning turn to say: Olay, Olay!...

In Shaker Heights, Ohio,
founding fathers co-invested in:

Change doesn't happen
without planning

This, despite
unstraight
unwhite
unmale volatile experiences
feeling sometimes victimized
and sometimes blessed
by unexpected weather transitions,
despite feeling like vulnerable chameleons
on a highly complex day,
despite feeble farming
in narrowing spaces
between floods and famine,

Despite more often feeling:
Plans were made to be changed,

A euphemism for:
Your...

Awhile back,
in the Dred Scott decision, 
SCOTUS denied rights of citizenship
to people of color
"as a subordinate
and inferior class of beings,
who had been subjugated
by the dominant race..."

So, we need not dig too deeply
to rediscover where straight white male supremacists
and systemic racist allies
might find our strongest
most toxic...

Why isn’t religious history taught as part of our still evolving creation story?

How could our great enlightenment drama not continually refine 
empowering language, music, liturgy 
with neuro- and eco-systemic healing functions?
as distinguished from sometimes toxic and dissonant colonizing stories 
of unstraight
unwhite
unmale marginalization
through monotheistically unsustainable 
anthro-privileged...

"A gift is different from something you buy, possessed of meaning outside its material boundaries. You never dishonor the gift." Robin Wall Kimmerer

A social gift,
a gift for compassionate verbal
and nonverbal communication,
a healing gift,
is different from personal economic equity
derived from cash investments,

Possessed,
sometimes haunting, gifts
with sacred meaning
timelessly...

To Ecological Greens
concerned about tolerating
evangelical 
monotheistic Red intolerance
of unstraight
unwhite
unmale
unhealthy
unsafe
panentheistic EarthDays
and dualdark wiki-nights
potentially bicameral
bipartisan
bisexual
binomial
neurosystemic cooperative regenerations
of win/win resonant
robust images

Any nonbinary person
all growed up
in a homophobic
straight
white
male anthrosupremacist monoculture
must not fail to see
to hear
to smell
to feel

Will have trouble tolerating
RightWing fundamentalist
privileged monotheistic survival
of the fittest Chosen StraightAnthros.

Green health and...

My dubiously protagonist Self
outgrows toward a co-invested
cooperative
co-governing center

A core UnWhite House communication center
Tao training for sacred positive
and trauma negation memories

Into ecologically
and economically
Right whole open
PanenTheistic MacroEconomic Intelligence

Amping up
co-relational win/win choices
through unconditional regard
of global
inside/outside co-discernment
voiced human choices

Ego AnthroPrivileged
by secularizing LeftHemisphere
health and safety cooperative wants
evolving old tired competitive...

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given
as received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice
not associating Yang courageous energy
with evil supremacist paternalism
and...

Truthfully,
and kinda depressing,
I can't "manage" anger
any better than fear
and contagious distrust
and nearly constant anxiety
and chronic depression.

In nonviolent communication practice circles,
peace networks,
organic therapeutic systems,
"curiosity" slowly grows ascendent
as "patience" to resist negative feelings
and "impatience" with shameless Others
and not so blameless Selves
fades off into a less used lexicon.

Impatience...

BiPolarity
has been largely ignored
polarization,

Linear and stagnant hierarchies
peaking in well-capitalized severance
and sterile self-satiation

Use you
then leave you
win/lose planning
and worldview design
by non-feminists

Uninspired by EarthTribe's co-arising,
Both/And reconsidering
depolarizing
dipolarization

Bruised blue traumatic,
and green grown therapeutic
sides of each red coin's
capitalization

Of Left hemisphere's newer
monotheistic voiced addictions,
win/lose deductive
reductive developmental wounds
of StraightWhitePatriarchal oppressions
blaming and shaming
overwhelming judgements...

Victims of Straight
White
Patriarchal History
are usually not hopelessly unenlightened
and permanently disabled

Ostracized by Self 
and/or Others
from healthy democratic
co-redemption

Baptized
and medicated
and meditated
into Truth seeking Beauty,
Sacred Voices seeking Secular Choices
reflecting cooperative EarthTribe's
most win/win integral
indigenous Wisdom.

The unStraight
unWhite
unMale
are not unPeople
living outside touchable
tangibly co-invested
co-operatively healthy 
wealthy society.

We have always been inside
Earth's natural/spiritual mind
nondualistically...

Thinking back on my all White
but One,
all Right
but One,
classroom learning experience,

I can see why
many of my straight white male classmates,
especially those with early varsity team excellence
and above average grade point systems
tipping toward future capital-valued employment
might feel disappointed,
sometimes angry,
about what feels like insufficient lifetime affirmation,

Hungering for...

I have confronted family,
and acquaintances
at the edge of my familiars
to understand my hurt
when they economically
and politically
and socially
and monoculturally
StraightWhiteMale privileged support
RightWing LeftBrained
Patriarchal-Capitalism

Because my Kids of Color,
with physical and mental,
natural and spiritual challenges,
lack of LeftBrain full accessibility

And my GayBlackMale husband
and GayWhiteMale me
feel unfairly
and dispassionately targeted,
marginalized,
offended
by corporate RightWing

"...the ecological crisis is also a summons
to profound [theological] conversion."
           #217, Laudato Si', Pope Francis

Those who benefit 
from a StraightWhiteMale privileged,
LeftBrain dominant,
Patriarchal-Capitalist
monotheistic image 
for God's anthrosupremacist omnipotence,

May have trouble recognizing
that UnStraight,
UnWhite,
unprivileged ecopolitical victims
try to thrive...
