From grass to grace the hope of a beginner
From nothing to something they all began
From something to everything is worthwhile
Empowering those capable not admirable looks
Establishing creating a wondrous world for all
Easy effortlessly thriving with integrity
Building a society for continuous blooming.
Every dark's teaching you to love yourself
saying pains would awaken you...LIES
Does suffering awakens anyone or shrinks
your mentality to be always defensive
when people are been serious with their business
If you want to look right eat right and good
if you want to eat left then go to the slums
pigs don't dine and wine with princes and
kings as family in the same kingdom.
It's either you let Christ come in to you
Taking over you or you let the devil do
destroying your goods and disrupting your peace
Don't walk alone when you can walk with a creator
Who had already walked in the paths of the Almighty God.
Asked the crowning Trees
of their Grass rooting neighbors
When you feel like singing
while dancing
are you more likely to invoke devotion
to capitalism's competitions
or compassion's cooperation?
Responsive chords,
amusing reeds
and whistling thistles
shyly reply
When we feel most wealthy voiced
and healthy choiced
are we more likely to invest
in red soiled cults
of secular supremacy
or green cultures
of sacred communion?
MotherTrees of crowning shade
for their root systemic neighbors
flexed their branching muscles
groaning
moaning through Earth's wind
and rain,
heat
and pain
Our best way to heal
Othering smothering instincts
is to repair our shared cooperative soil
restoring EarthPeace soul
of co-invested health
Thereby growing out
our shared climate
with compassion's devoted wealth
Sang the crowning Trees
while dancing with Grass rooting
up shooting
neighbors.
Proclaimed the trunk to His roots:
A demagogue teaches
and preaches
as my head trunk talks down
to my frontline branches
Lesser beings who had best listen
and learn
my stern
and often punishing expectations
Explained the roots
to Her much-loved trunk:
A pedagogue first listens
at the refining foot
of a sacred grassroot system
To serve compassionate communication,
inclusive problem-solving,
celebrating win/win peak experiences
of resonantly embodied promise,
harmony,
musicality,
integrity,
synergy,
transparency,
vulnerability
to multiculturally omniscient expansion.
Demagogues
require retribution
to survive against win/lose
zero-sum competitions
threatening capital-headed
bloating at the crown
While pedagogues invite restoration
of fully embodied thrival
and win/win uncompromised revival,
Faith in nonzero sum
polyculturally active,
deeply saturating communication,
rooted in past peak communion
courageously curious experiences.
They follow Trump's tweets with disdain
Ridicule, lie and constantly blame
Marchers deny Trump as President
Arm-guarded stars arrogantly vent
To millions of 'racist' 'deplorable' citizens
Who did the unthinkable - not vote for Clinton
People of faith, grassroot Americans
Law-abiding gun owners, republicans
Everyone and all who had had enough
Illegal immigration, above-the-law stuff
Educated workers from all occupations
Draining the swamp of career politicians
Approval rating beats Obama's first year
Lowest unemployment - did you not hear?
Foreign policy and immigration
Tax reform, health care and deregulation
Largest agenda passed in modern history
Totally ignored by MSM hypocrisy
Is it too much to give Trump a chance?
Stop negativity to see if perchance
There might be common ground to be had
Maybe, just maybe it's not all that bad
Yes, many problems still need attention
At least use facts instead of misinformation
March 7, 2018
Let the toothless dog bark
it wouldn't harm the shark
Because they continue to embezzle the fund
And crabbing public land
Dollar meant for developing the shanties
into reputable cities
Stole by rich becoming richer day by day
Poor languishing in poverty without pay
Urgent alarms for sobriety rings
See what lack of knowhow brings
If you know your Constitutional rights
It's about that time to fight
for what you deserve at the grassroot
Fairness be your prime pursuit
Silent thrills
dream love novels
fit for Oprah
and yet fit for
prison;
serving a life sentence
for being unable
to comprehend
the world and its
dry smoke
grassroot
reality.
A hard-fought
battle of wit
adds jet-fuel
to the flame
of emptiness,
nothing burns
nonetheless, taking
with it images
of Barbie dolls
and night-dividing
days filled with
never-ending
commandment-breaking.
Time is exiled,
the present is past.
The future is now.
