Like a nymph from Arden,
She entered my life’s garden.			

Like lightning to me, she came; 
For me, she was an ideal dame.

As feminine as a jasmine flower,
She found in me a protective bower.

I traced sweet nectar in her talk,
And a dancing swan in her walk.

Her floating

New Eyes For the Old

Rose knows little about her country.
Far few women do from the pantry
And still fewer,when it gets wintry...

So,she begrudges not the gentry
And challenges not mounted sentry.

Doesn't know about Oprah Winfrey,
Concentrating on their church's Belfry;
Her broadest smiles for Vicar's entry.

It's an old heart for modern poultry,
Her birds leaving when heat is sultry
For her fondest film on Gallantry
Or,if

Healthy Cultures

We are here
sexing
and singing
mindfulling our Perceptions and Questions
together in this now present
gifted Time

To eat and work together
for our cooperative
and ancient thriving health care,
of course,

But,
also,
and perhaps even more pre-historically
pre-anthrosupremacy,
to sing and dance together
to win/win play our root vibrant chakras,
and cooperatively think
by feeling together
sharing co-invested sacred wonders
and compassionately embodied awe,
of course,

And to embrace our EarthTribe sexuality,
our wild

Growing Green Cultures

Inside my elegantly intuitive,
but SupremelyWhite Male neglected,
and cooperatively We-managed RightHemisphere,

Grows a nutritious nuancing
and nonviolently
nonverbally communicating
win/win systemically curious
dipolar co-arising
(not so much bipolar distancing
and often furious)
courageous sense of win/win 
bicamerally accessible humor

Like when is green
the new black
is not when redhot passions
remain stuck with old white privilege

Less adept at laughing
with, and not at,
our own anthrosupremacist pretensions
that we live

Sacred V Corporate Cultures

What is your opposite
for SACRED?

for sexually unscared
unscarred
unscrambled?

SECULAR, I suppose.

Secularization
sounds like desecration,
As sanctification
sounds divinely cooperative,
loving,
and not quite so punishingly competitive

Like win/win eco-political Game Strategies
to optimize and sustain healthy
co-governing polycultural outcomes,
nonviolently,
therapeutically,
restoring mindful peacefulness.

I wonder if we could see
our ego/eco-centric Golden Rules
a new green nonviolent
and cooperative
and regenerative WAY.

But, to do this
with multicultural paradigmatic LIFE consistency,
where outside natural TRUTH

The Color of Cultures

The Color of Cultures 

A poem
By Jerry May

Above and below the skins surface no one is the same....exactly, 
But appearance divides us just the same...matter of factly.
A sudden blindness wouldn't cure racial competition and divide, 
Because each race inherited cultural differences by which we are defined. 
However, by accepting every person's right to uniquely exist,
We are really plotting the

Some Cultures Are Better Than Others, Part Ii

...Even in our own subcultures
this pattern most people can see,
look at the endless dysfunction
that curses our inner cities.
A culture than has accepted
a lack of fathers in their lives,
a culture that thinks real success
is betrayal, they’re ‘acting white.’
With music that glamorizes
thugs who murder to get their dope,
is that the culture you’d embrace?
Is that what will give

Some Cultures Are Better Than Others, Part I

I think, perhaps, the greatest evil
of the plague that we call P.C.
Is how it drops a shade on us,
until truth we no longer see.
It tells people we’re all the same,
that all cultures are just as good,
say we shouldn’t be proud of ourselves,
that only bigots ever would.
But truthfully, look at our cultures,
the ones that fail, the

Privileged Cultures Afterthought

It feels fascinating
that horny voracious passions
dissipate in the presence of ego-centered fear
of pain and suffering
and ego-defeating loss,
disability and predative performance anxieties,
wounds,
death,
short-term through permanent
degenerating energy,
absence of active hope
for future holistic integrity.

In this time of climate degeneration
fear and cultural distancing need,
frustrated leftbrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monoculturing horniness
looks culturally privileged like,
sounds prejudicially like,
feels and touches sacred EarthMother like,
smells and multiculturally
creole

Privileged Testosterone Cultures

One of my several disabilities
of personal knowledge
through experience
and, therefore, empathic intelligence,
is to know what estrogen-driven "horniness"
might feel like,
look and sound like,
taste and smell like.

Gay men require alternative
deviant paths
toward green/blue/red
ultra-nonviolent 
cooperatively owned
and perpetually self/other-managed
multiculturally mediated 
open WholeEarth systemic 
ecofeminism.

I suspect a primal contrast
between an empty holed 
deep chakra longing for compassionate relationship,
rather than a pole-addicted belonging
to

Appropriate Cultures

Cultural ownership,
disproportionately lavished upon kings,
the occasional ecopolitical queen,
white male Republican Senators,
elite corporate CEOs
overdriving inside monocultural management
feeding consumer acquisitive appetites

Leads to cultural entitlement

Elitely leads to cultural appropriation,
where I win appropriate proportions
at your loser disproportionate misfortune,

And,
sometimes to multicultural creolization,
where everyone wins Golden Rules
co-arisingly together.

When Cultures Collide

When Cultures Collide

Where the river ends
And the ocean begins;
Cultures collide
And history’s tide,
Erases a way of life
For the indigenous people.

St. Lawrence Iroquoians
Welcomed the French
To the shores of ‘Kanata’
At Stadacona;
With ceremonial greeting,
Exchanging gifts and ideas.

But only the riches of the land
Are considered worthy:
Natural habitat retreats,
And the environment suffers.
First Nations people would fare no better,
Against these foreign invaders.

Food From Other Cultures

Food from other cultures broaden our dining experience
A venturesome spirit leads to makes us totally delirious
Expands our horizons
Cravings do widen
Till we blow a gasket, to our drooling we're oblivious

Cultures Healthy and Pathological

It seems easier to do good
and live healthy
if you live in a democratically robust
and multiculturally resonant society.

For the same reasons
it's much easier to bring oneself harm
and slowly disintegrate into isolating despair
when you live in a capitalistic patriarchal
elitist
competing rights make monoculturing might
anthro-centric supremacist society.

EarthRights denied,
also denies internal climate health
as multicultural sacramental wealth.

Political Choices of Vibrant Cultures

History publishes eco-political winners
and probably not mystery marginalized also-rans.

NeoCortex dominant pursuits 
of growing cognitive information,
knowledge and facts,
comprehension of Earth's regenerative
and degenerative systems
and cosmological nest-network;
these objectives evolve scientific politically empowered paradigms
fueled by our collective economic investments of time and money
understanding of their relational contexts,.

All our biggest and best rational research projects 
are multiculturally empowered
