The wind arrived quietly, conservatively,
meandering around my heart with soft words,
playing with tendrils of my being with soft caresses,
lulling my soul with gentle softness and light.
Summer stretched and wove a ribbon
through my emotions given freely and wantonly.
Sucking the possibilities deep within to nurture
a future of happy-scented days before me.
The storm arrived unexpectedly, viciously,
tearing and rending my being with no more caresses.
Now, cast outside the vortex that surrounds it,
my soft words unheard above the roaring noise.
A heart now bruised and silent, missing the mark,
veering wildly towards some unknown destination
in ever decreasing circles like leaves in autumn
as they fall silently from the lofty boughs above.
Quiet now, my soul still forming words in silence.
Never to be heard above the swirling mass roaring above.
Wishing for summer days to return with a soft kiss
or caring caress whispered to a heart once loved.
Social cohesion and consideration
the collective good
In excess one who prioritize there
needs and perspective's excessively
a negative consequence of extreme
individualism
making it harder to relate to others
by creating an extreme condition
not caring about others experiences
and perspectives or putting on a
empathises on individuals: without
creating ties with or within a
said community. Culverting shifts
that allow the empathise towards
self expression and personal
achievement Lacking Tradition or

society all things are futuristic..
One could quote things conservatively
and liberally say
"there's nothing new under
the sun: what's new to
us has already been done"
The roots: and origins of creativity
Being creative is the the hypocricay of

A tapestry of conservatives
Laced with blistering conversations
Gather in futile congregations
That lacks any considerations
Delusions on baseless conclusions
Pretending to be congressional
With a desire to spawn confusion
Blind to all things constitutional
Politically Incorrect
When I was young
I worked hard labor
So I could liberally
Spend my money
On good times and beer
Now I conservatively estimate
In a short time
I’ll no longer be here
At last,
we are angry with each other
coincidentally,
simultaneously,
which may be a coincidence,
but probably not;
Depending on active faith
in linear cause-effect relationships,
leftbrain dominant yang powers,
And/or
circular dipolar co-arising
co-passioned effective unpolarized relationship,
causes v effects = effective causal recycles
of rightbrain both/and recessive yintegrity.
Now,
at last,
we have set our synergetic communication stage
to test this ancient hypothesis
that two negatives
are equal to a potential positive co-passion,
as polynomials
may equal not not polynomials
Where positive
also equals leftbrain healthy
and rightbrain safe
And negative anger
equals leftbrain liberally
communication healthy
when rightbrain feels conservatively safe
Despite never considering this internal hypothesis
because of patriarchal
dualistic
win/lose capitalistic faith
in not not equivalent potential
for ego/ecosystemic win/wins
Despite respite death through life
ego/eco-recycles
repurposing timeless eternity
of unity
more flexibly equitable
than uniformity
of leftbrain thoughts
against rightbrain feelings.
Our most humane possible objective
has become Earth's most sacred healing subject.
We feel better
after listening more holistically
and less defensively
less conservatively bought and sold
during rapaciously disinvested non-conversations,
against healing cooperative integrity subjects
Humane vocations invite
therapeutic whole-system thinkers
and doers
and polypathic fluent ambidextrous feelers.
My most humane political objective
is Earth's most sacred ecological health
and economic wealthy subject.
“The plants adapt, the people adopt.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, “Braiding Sweetgrass”
Plants conservatively propose;
people liberally dispose.
RNA organisms nature,
DNA humans nurture.
Economic environmental systems co-invest,
Ecological political systems absorb
to re-invest.
Earth bleeds cultures of health
and pathology.
Humanity feeds histories of wealth
and poverty.
Legislative economists cooperatively propose
and occasionally choose.
CEO public service administrators
competently dispose
and occasionally build cooperative WinWin ownership.
Earth natures cooperativey adapt,
Human spirits regeneratively adopt.
Devils spawn, Beelzebub groupie
Sinister minister of hell fire
Sinner sister
Brother dire in a B-movie
Left handed without fealty
Never to sit on the right
hand of some imaginary deity
Cursed with evil notoriety
To abide with the devils pet goat
seething with bitter envy
Left handed, bereft of pity
anticlockwise to dither
slimy and shitty
A snake that slithers
Not you,
so pure
right on, right there.
Conservatively dour
Smelling of roses
benevolent snare
Correct, on message,
pointless,
caring,
so caring.

Conservatively Conservative
Liberally liberal
By Franklin Price
9/102015
Conservatively conservative
Liberally liberal
Does anyone know just what that means
Or don't care have gotten full
Full of all the puffing
And the posing from each side
Look closely how you're thinking
Where your loyalties reside
Don't blindly follow party lines
Think a little for yourself
Find out what's really happening
Don't take the Rx from the shelf
If you sheeply follow goats that lead
To trap you in the pen
And pull the wool upon your eyes
To keep you blind and then
They fill your ears with biased words
They trust you will not view
Don't think that you will lift the wool
To see what's happening to you
The best of things could happen
If you allow yourself to see
It's the people not the party
That's the place that we should be
Could end up a confusing mess
Maybe conservaliberality
Or liberservaindepend
For the likes of you and me
I circle inside you
Through your cold centre
Warmed by what others
Have left in you.
How conservatively wild you are.
How stark and polite.
You caress secrets so tenderly,
Saved for the seeking masses.
I watch as a kaleidescope of colours,
Dance to my feet here,
And whisper from higher spaces.
You have opened yourself to me,
And I delight in you.
Full of smells,
I do not understand.
Blinded by the art of you,
I have fallen in love,
With one of your own,
And will leave her here,
To swim in your kind depths.
