Scientists,
like health focused democrats,
have universally applicable intentions
when designing research questions.
Artists,
unlike capital-endowed elitists,
enthuse over unitarian themes
of balance and beauty
when designing interactive responses.
Egos,
like healthy ecosystems,
polyculturally thrive
where integrity evokes
joyfully compassionate
souls
Scientifically left widely exploring
liberating win/win purposes
for and of
artistic right meaningful
deeply conservational
sacredly integral
feelings.
There is this thought,
in Leagues of Voters,
continually arising
from East to West
and South to North
and Left to Right,
That we need to make win/win nice
with our mammalian cousins
on land and sea
or only mean old reptiles
and hungry predative birds and insects
will remain
to design Earth's future cultures
and regenerations.
Others feel this prejudice
for wombs over eggs
and nuts
and seeds
is merely ignorant elitism,
as if humanimals
are not capable of reacting
like rattlesnakes
and scorpions
wherever and whenever our environmental climate
fails to comfort
and entertain us.
Womb supremacists
and egg empiricists
and seed originalists
all agree,
regardless of ZeroZone resourceful structure,
win/win cooperative economies
are healthier than win/lose ego-empowering constitutions,
whether capital declared
or politically implied
by organizing skills fostering more wars and competition
more than love and cooperative education.
This reminds me of a Japanese saying,
There is luck in the last portion.
Whether good luck or bad,
well-wombed or bad-seeded,
this saying leaves to us
to predict and actively hope for
or against.
Philosphers
They chase black cat in a dark room
And box ears of invisible gloom
some say world is an illusion
To others senses deal in delusion
A few maintain that world is in a state of flux
To others it is standstill like a hill
They diagree even about source of knowledge
And refute each other in fury and rage
Some assert that we get knowledge through sense perception
Others attribute it to innate conception
There are rationalists and empiricists
Even idealists and primivists
some noisily claim that universe is Godless
Others prove His presence in every Place
Some feel world came into being with bang
Others say nothing can be known about how it sprang
Protean nucleic processes
polemic yield
explosive diversification
punctuated equilibrium
Stephen J. Gould
Paleontological hypothesis
spawning sudden flora and fauna
competed against diametrically opposed diatribe
pairing diehard Religionists
versus Doubting Thomists
which Creationist advocates
threatened non-believers
with damnation and eternal punishment
spake brotherhood of God brethren thru tongue did wield.
Pompous empiricists
fire and brimstone sermons on the mount
excruciating punishment of soul would yield
claimants who refute intelligent design theorists
to explain away biological gaps
extant within evolutionary field
said Biblical creationists belief
pitted dogmatic atheistic crusaders
to fight tooth and nail
with scimitar and shield!
