[ with a hint of the bridge from A Man Has Dreams
sung by the character George Banks in Mary Poppins ]
A bank is a community where people banked
They did so with impunity until it tanked
When interest, like a river, overflowed its banks
And fishes, schooled communally, all died and stank.
For Kamala, online communities give thanks.
Her oratory gaffs, a laugh while they make bank.
The little sh*ts get lots of hits; her ratings tank.
Cuz twitter’s a community where witters wank.

Earth empowers life
by further expressing
natural well-being
cooperatively articulating
spiritually positive
(so not traumatically negative)
emotions
Of SunMuse sacred
sanguine songs
panentheistically felt anticipation,
communally confirmed,
transubstantiating health needs
therapeutic wants
more than trauma confrontational management.
I can feel
and hear musical Beauty,
As also musing
sometimes amusing
bipartisan Truth
In Earth developing
neurosensory ecological history,
multi-enculturing theological mystery
of a procreative
systematic
organic
symphonic Tree.

Begin
by composing grandly outsized mission statements,
"To end racism, ignorance, sin."
Continue
to accept past win/lose separations,
divorces,
fragmentation
as tolerable compromises
while power-wrestling business as capitalistically, financially
and politically, socially, culturally, historically
and psychologically, individually, ego-systemically
and ecologically, tribally, communally, eco-systemically
and theologically usual competitions.
"My gospel,
self-empowering truth,
is more divinely inspired than yours."
Rather than,
"How have our diverse gospels become inherited
from past compassionate win/win
divinely inclusive,
multiculturing SacredSources?"
Conclude
with all your old right answers
and not any newly shared curious
and open questions.
"Why are we so sure/unsure
racism, ignorance, sin
are original causes of climate pathology
rather than either/or competition's symptoms
following left brain cultured dominance?"

We have, I hear,
between each in-out breath,
only our integrity of potential wealth
for empowering health.
And so I feel compelled to ask,
What would it take
to draw us away
from our entertaining tools
and fascination with weapons?
To, instead, fall in love again,
with Gaian co-empowering outside healing places?
How will we deeply learn
HolySpirit
anima mundi romancing holonic living Nature,
health-wealthy relatedness,
ego individuation from eco-habitat
integrity and diversity
of our own sacred loving-kindness Nature?
Without an outdoor
universal-unitarian
affluent-effluent love affair,
a sultry night time flirtation
with moonlight
and stars bright.
What will you regret
as you lie dying
in a hospital room
drugged
and hooked up to communicating machines
more than communally interdependent organisms?
Perhaps having lost a bed of leaves
under long-loved oak trees,
raising your arms or branches,
as you are still able,
to kiss such ancient full moon light
still singing with our distant past and future
renewing moon starred-bright.

Autumn leaves fall down,
Ready, expected, aware:
You would never question the event,
Or climb a tree to pull one off,
And then place it on the ground.
So why question suffering?
A universality so common and random,
Just to be received and convincing.
Nature is natural,
Both greenery and living organisms,
So why pull them out of the world,
Away from their context - both good and bad,
To make them the the ones to blame?
Not communally, but individually,
Unknown to their surroundings inexplicably.
Evolution sets us up by time,
With nature as itself,
Not determined or bold or pointing,
But just perfect:
Interacting and relational,
Becoming better and better every day:
Stronger, more intelligent and more moral.
John Keats’ Nightingale represents nature,
Because it gives voice to that beauty and majesty,
In song, so expressive and unaffected and free,
Encouraging us to think rationally about suffering:
The bird’s music is so fair and equalising -
For anyone, open to all in its accessibility,
Allowing us to feel and think through poetry.
