Some of us,
diversely theistic
and atheistic,
are still,
to this traumatizing partisan day,
committed to a multiculturally inter-religious
and ecologically healthy
democracy.
We are suffering
an anxious sense of deeply felt loss
fueled, inflamed, ignited
by RightWing MonoTheistic
and ATheistic
and Agnostic Theistic?
trauma,
fear- and anger-mongers,
weaponized hate-predators,
ideological dogmatists
propaganda influencers.
UnChristianRight MonoTheists
are also LeftBrain verbally dominant
anthro-privileged
patriarchally plagued
by win/lose partisanship
0-sum devolutionary economics
dualistic YangPassion v YinPleasure
dogmatic ideation.
Both Left and Right Wings
failing to feel depolarizing sides
of our comedic-belonging
v tragic-longing
Bicamerally common
cobinary
sense of faithful humor.
About some of us,
diversely theistic
and atheistic,
still,
to this traumatizing partisan day,
feeling shared passion
for a multiculturally inter-religious
and pleasure within
an ecologically healthy
organic democracy.
No time to be on the fence,
our stressed Earth wants more dedication
to her defense.
Weeping for her is not enough,
join the environmental cause, we
must be tough.
The world's children to elderly,
doing something about pollution,
climate change, it's a priority.
Save wildlife and humans for their rising,
from our collective humanity, our globe
needs reviving.
The youth of us should inherit,
an ecologically sound planet for
generations to benefit.
God's earthly angels are at work out there,
as I know so many of you care. ~

Winter starts
With ice, fine arts
Sunshine days blaze
With atmospheric haze...
?
Rainbow-colors poured
On earth-sky canvas as an accord
All five elements glitter.
As though no counterfeiter
Hillocks in immodest green
Present an ecologically rich scene
?
Thrill fills the zeitgeist
In the earth-weather tryst

This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue
of practicing RightBody patience
Is a coverup
for feeling deep impatience.
Feeling impatient is not as hopeful
as exploring active curiosity.
Curiosity
about why someone,
including my own anthro-privileged self,
would default to live win/lose
competitively
When our healthiest,
and safest
economically enlightened
and politically empowering experiences
have always grown choices to live
liberally
radically
integrally
EarthTribally
sacredly
neurosystemically
ecologically
more fully win/win,
cooperatively co-invested.
Passionate curiosity might kill the occasional cat;
but probably not more deadly
than dispassionate lack of curiosity.
Besides,
passionate curiosity can also be more fun
than boring impatience
More joyful,
than sad
mad
bad
More curiously glad
even appropriately win/win consenting adult/adult lusty
More sad/glad soulful
preferring mindful disciplines
like healthy therapeutic dances
and well-sung
resiliently brilliant love songs.
Each of them had one
A golden shovel
To sweep away the detritus
Of life’s lingering keepsakes
Scratching the gold-plated spears
Dodging deaths deadline
Struggling to be remembered
Ecologically egotistical entrepreneurs
Pictures, suitable for framing
Polished, souvenir hard hats
Sign waving sycophants
Applauding the arrogance
Of progressive platitudes.
An old woman weeps
The shadow of her home gone
The echoes of her life fading
A Teddy bear lays crushed
Beneath an unseen future.
The alligators will not stay in the water,
they head for strip malls, for chicken noodle joints
or sports bars for fish taco or spicy wings.
They get their nails done in a Korean salon
paying in Spanish gold.
The two legged;
the cranes, herons, and humans
edge around the gators.
Occasionally, rowdy boys bounce stones off
their scaly hides.
The unflappable crocodilians slyly grin
for they are ecologically moving-in.
Shrewdly, the reptiles are styling
alligator belts and boots, or sell gator skin handbags
from wayside stalls and booths.
The Floridians have become inured
to these green interlopers. Some seeing opportunity,
rent them housings with few tenancy rules
and ‘must have’ pools.
Sadly many furry pets keep going missing;
and not just the Cypress trees are stumped.
It’s a new era, one to be nearer together.
Undocumented or free-range, no longer estranged.
but one shared love for chicken, be it raw, fried
or grill flamed.
A more prolific key
to preventing a sinful monoculture of crime
is recreating a sincere inclusive climate
for trauma prevention
Just as a more robust tool
for healing narcissistic egocentrism
is curiosity to understand
catastrophic anthro-supremacism
Just as a more effective resource
for ending investment
in militaristic nationalism
is to promulgate polycultural panentheism,
robust solidarity extending family residents,
soul cousins of macro-organic soil,
our ecologically economic
global EarthTribe home
Just as fixing religious partisan dogmatism
is to experience unitarian integrity,
empowering universal energy democracy,
delightful synergetic strategies
for creolizing inter-religious
cultural diversity
Just as monoculturing weapons
of discommunication
reinvest in polyculturing tools
of trust communionation.
Imagine
your segregated ego identity
becomes your primal sensory system
perennially aiming toward
0-Zone peak experiential integrity
Intimately aware
all humane physical
and verbal touchers
and metaphysical
nonverbal feelers
Win/Win voiced teachers
and polytheistic out-reachers
ecologically surrounded
by sacred, living
lovely Earth's health potential
for nurturing 1-Zone
environment-nurturing choices
Integral
polyculturally resilient
to more resonantly feel
multicultural health
and safer ego/ecosystemic wealth
1-EarthTribe/0-Ego co-binary
poly/mono-polistic
bicameral balance
toward Win/Win's strategic
global/local wise integrity
Polytheistically sacred living
potential for resonant co-empathic health
and resiliently co-investing
in restoring peace felt
and justice touched
EarthTribe environmental 1-healthy
and neuro-systemic win/win 0-safety
co-empathic intention
Intimate intelligence
not resonantly shared
becomes at risk
of defensive fetid dogma,
colonizing anger and fear potential
Or fades away
giving sway
to further win/lose trauma
Where win/win creolization
had actively hoped
to co-intelligently play.
We could widely perceive reasons
for healthy win/win spiritual relationships
and deeply feel seasons
developing wealthy cooperative sacraments
growing nutritional food
and natural fuel
and nurturing fertility
Becoming therapeutic fruit
of nonviolent communion
when ego traumatized nature
lets co-passionately go
Of ancient AnthroSupremacist
monotheistic Capitalist
win/lose degenerative
zero-sum games
Condemning all sacred life networks
to ecocidal lose/lose death
Of Golden Ruling Gaia,
blue/green revolutionary
birthing deep round wombed empowerment
fertilized by richly robust
solar-seasoned
polyculturally polypathic
panentheistic health wealth experience
Deep inside peaking
and wide outside valleyed
ego/ecofeminist depolarizing
spiritual-reasoned/natural-seasoned
health-wealthy economic enlightenment,
ecologically nutritional
empowering
co-invested
So MeWe can widely perceive reasons
for healthy win/win relationships
and deeply feel seasons
of wealthy cooperative sacraments
growing polycultural food
and polypathic fuel
and polyvagal fertility
and polyphonic fantasy.
When I choose individual regenerative health
I may be reasonably influenced
by potential for economic wealth
as compared to trauma
of individuating degenerative depletion,
absence of resilient well-being,
resonant win/win swelling wellness.
Sometimes more easily missed
is my ego's individual personal swelling cancer
premised beyond Earth's cooperatively communing resources
Beyond democratic globally inclusive political wealth
of ecologically polyculturing relationships
More prominently powerful,
enlightening wise
indigenous nature/spirit nondualism
of health empowering
Ego/EcoSystemic
copassionate communications,
Of sacredly musing amusicalling communities,
green new through ancient blue
universally regenerative synergy systems
optimizing my wealthiest possible
win/win ecopolitical health.
We expect to find

speaking with LeftBrain dominant purpose
in our individualized ego lives.
We invite,
theologically hope for,
and faithfully search out
and in to fulfill,
nonviolently provide
peaceful purpose
to protect interdependent

Dogmatic supremacy,

Is rather like evangelical capitalism,
an anti-ecological colonization,

Sounds more PoliticallyCorrect?
PatriarchalCapitalism

Which ecologically tastes most healthy
and/or

to you?
To me,
there's somethin' fishy
about all that controlling economic strategy
unfolding on a secularized political stage
of win/lose competitions
and bicameral debate
Unable to see outside

Immersed in everyday

OldSouls believe Earth's ecological systems
need healthy humane theological experience
more than
theological HeavenlyWater/EarthSoil reflection
feeds wealth-restoring ecological Justice.
OldSouls also believe this is a problem;
Not a sacred sign
of resilient EarthSystemic strength
through cooperative
co-invested indigenous wisdom
and humane solidarity,
polyculturally enlightening nature
of multiculturally empowering spiritual experience,
healthy soil smelled
and safe water tasted
tested

LeftWing yintegral nonzero OldSoul

RightWing yang
ecologically healthy cooperative wins
winning economic co-empowering gain.
Cancerous capitalism,
predative patriarchalism,
insist on runaway win v lose competitions
against EarthMother's resilient health
and ecofeminist resonant wealth
To fearlessly look
into mirrored medicine cabinets
noticing untherapeutic time's inevitable one way
past tense to present dense direction
******** of lines written
and rewritten
into this moment
of reweaving wonder
How resiliently limned health
reflects nutritional resonance
unlike discontinuous dominant deviance
cognitive dissonance
waving toward affectively unrooted absence
of anticipated confluence
Like tolerating personal bumps
lumps
wrinkles
mountains and valleys
of emergent panentheistically grand minds
in aging pantheistic
ancient ecologically interdependent organic bodies
Imagining climate pathological end
of healthy living green/blue Earth
predicted in commencement of cancerous capitalism
written in lines of greedy eyes
and needy ears
for anthropocentric
monoculturing opportunity,
predative win v lose rabidity.
