may not sell newspapers
or win the partisan debate

Civility,
unlike deviliciousness,
will not win the civil war
nor leverage the biggest tax rebate

But integrity

Impressive values,
like love,
claim resources that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health

join me
in striving to become

for compassion's therapeutic unfence

We soon find

Religions,
and other strange passions
exotic 
and erotic 
and hypnotic,

and tomorrow's anticipated 
liberating empowerment
restoring EarthPeace...

predicting sacred Earth's matricide

By LeftBrain-RightHand 
dogmatic dominance

Music
especially sacred music
feels round

Not such clear lines
prescribing desecrating marches
needing to move somewhere

speaking against someone
in StraightWhite privileged time

Right/Left balancing divas
sometimes sing in resonant rounds,

EarthTribe dancing divas
still indulge emphatic circling
meditations

Dogmatically embodying
mindful medications
