Thanks to Valsa George whose Mother Nature poem inspired this write. INDUSTRY is celebrated by most national economists, but often I prefer to say: industry means "inDestroy" mode

Heavy equipment digging deep
I feel their weight, bombs, blades
They rest on my chest, cut me open
Is it my heart they admire, or seek
No, diamonds and such, not much
But they kill their Mom for trinkets
I bleed, I bleed, "I cant' breathe" -
yet I will lo ...v... ove you

Where Earth's international diplomats
might hope for multiculturally appropriate

Radical theologians aspire
to restore sacred EarthGreen Peace
And EarthBeauty mystics,
whose reclusive nature is not not spiritual
indigenously serene
and spacious mystics
nondualistic

non-zero-sum ecological economists
Actively hope
the rest of us unenlightened
and disempowered victims
of degenerative stressful traumas
find some cooperatively co-invested
serenity
In our sacred EarthTribal
co-empathic
co-arising justice
co-passioning peace restoring
peak experience
long-term multi-regenerational memories
of preferably bilateral

co-identity
Right here at home
in family
and local ecopolitical community
Where Earth's multicultural diplomats
might hope for democratic healthy wealth
restoring integrally cooperative justice.
Every place is understaffed
So managers are trying
To hire more workers, but it seems
That no one is applying.
Economists are mystified
For this is something new
And experts all have theories
But there’s not much they can do.
It sounds like many laborers
Were miserable at work
And being forced to stay at home
Turned out to be a perk.
Without a job to get to
Transit costs just disappeared
And with government assistance
Life was not what most had feared.
They made do without the hassles
Of tough jobs with little pay,
So when openings resumed, so many
Shrugged and just said, “Hey!
Why return to all the stresses?”
Which is why no one can fill
All those jobs which people hated
And I doubt they ever will.

When we come out of lockdown,
Will we invite the old uptown?
To fit them for a crown,
Or send them downtown
For someone to put them down.
Will we look to them to make the economy stable?
Or pass the baton to those less able,
Will we be lining up to sit at their table?
Or kicking them out to the stable.
Will we seek their wisdom?
Or facilitate their doom,
So, we can take over their room,
And pull down the shades on our own gloom.
My hope is that we listen to economists,
Who may not be sentimentalists,
Yet can recognise valuable assets,
And those who they would like to cross off their lists.
EarthMothers instinctively birth natural economists
advocating fiscal conservancy
because we cannot sustainably give
beyond nutritional elements we are cooperatively taking in.
EarthMothers know by pregnant experience
what it feels like to slow-grow a robust regenerative economy,
To give birth to healthy robust hope,
To invest in bilateral birthing compassion
To divest of timelessly cherished assets
when our right climate of healthy opportunity
has come, win/win,
for cooperative health remediation
For regenerative selves
and our future sons and daughters
From wet warm wombs
born into MotherEarth's globally pregnant
eco-political climate remediation,
Health remunerative cooperative co-governance,
co-investing in health wealthy future Time.
“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.
Why Aren’t You Saving More for Retirement?
By Elton Camp
Economists are giving a tongue-lashing
Good sense of the public they’re trashing
Unless much more for retirement you save
You’ll have to work till you’re in your grave
Company pensions went the way of the dodo
Once they realized how much they would owe
But most workers have to face wage stagnation
From medical bills there is incredible inflation
Housing costs get higher every day
Food prices are going the same way
College debts many will have to pay
Until they’ve become old and gray
Too much month for the money anyway
How can they save for some future day?

And the World is your original mother land ."
SANDIP GOSWAMI, INDIA
I don't know,
weather God speaks on English or not?
But that is exceptionally important
for us
learning as quickly as possible
this exellent tool
for business, global managment,
human rights and honestly governing -
for the sake our salvation, independence and prosperity.
Had better if we were prayed on English,
as our grandfathers turned for God through Arabia,
and late learned to create namaz for Kremlin and Communizm on Russian.
O great Lord,
who are lived everywhere and nowhere.
Bless us
the same way as did it for US
that have ruled by unknown leaders
and with firmly hand of democrasy
since the end of XVIII centure
whem fathers of american freedom
proclamed independence of states,
as the Germany and Japan after World War II,
conveyed to free sociate
by westerns generals and economists,
as the Singapore
in the hard hand of Lee Quan,
gone for freedom,
we are ready live short time
under ruling someone like Pinochet,
if he really know where to go.
Please, great Lord,
you just not leave us
and our children, grand chiuldren
with the fundamentalists,
postcommunists, imperialists
and others maniacs of history.
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
The three wise monkey's
Light up their spliff's
Human beings turn into lemmings
And gather at the cliff's
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in Vain
Economists play a hot tune
As the blind mice dance
As the beat builds
Everyone is caught in a trance
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
The bankers want a pound of flesh
But they say they don't want blood
Tell that to the poor
When they gentrify their neighbourhood
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
Lord above forgive us
For our considerable shame
We know not , what , we do
We just play the game
Going to the desert
Trying to remember your name
Pondering your gift
Was it all in vain
Money makes you turn
When will economists learn?
One does not simply...
Earn.
He is of the Muse who Impacts Regally
The Illuminating Effervescence
He the Noble, Premier and Forerunner
Instinctual Attitude, Skill and Knowledge
Superior to all but the Moulder of the Ethereal
Reality in Existentialism
Yea, Springboard to all Enhanced Persons
The Grill and Mill for Presidents,
Legislators, Justices and the piety
Professional Economists, Engineers
Wisdom of Kings, Queens and Militarists
Prima Facie Mirror to all and Sundry
The Cradle Patriot Denied Earthly Rewards
Bruntly Rejected, Feigned Recognition
Nebulous, Yet Thorough, Effective, Active (TEA)
Charitable, Humble, Effervescent, Resourceful
EUREKA!!! THE TEACHER.
What pharmaceutical hypocrisy
Blurred doctor patient relations
Continuous with dealor-junkie satiation
Arent't we living to eat?
The safety regulators will come down harsh
Trickling down their axiom motif
With Ronald Reagan collectible trading cards
Who's poison beef still feeds
The vacant lunch room lot
And appetite feeds necessity
A supply/demand immortal praxis
So when economists don their hats
Rationally sanitizing the goofs
It's mighty easy the Federally pen
A Riker's Island estate
Keeping the wooly horses busy
While generations pock-marked
Throw themselves towards the dart board
Becoming gangland officiates
What we need is a cleansing rain
To wash the virtual records and shame
Letting ecology grow the way it should
Coping With Hard Economic Times
By Elton Camp
Each new generation was richer than the one before
But it looks like that will never be the case anymore
It seems young families might as well expect to see
What economists now describe as the “new reality”
Their parents came to have a house and a nice car
It will be hard for most young folks to go that far
The jobs that are available have become very few
And of a type that only minimal wages are due
Benefits largely have become a thing of the past
As have pensions that an entire lifetime will last
Many jobs that were available to Americans before
Have now be “outsourced” to some foreign shore
Most manufacturing plants have now been closed
So China can dominate the market, unopposed
Even if people, more are quite willing to pay
Little is found that has been “Made in the USA”
