Idolatries Poems


Premium MemberOmnipotence of Love

If your Straight White God's
powers of love
are not omnipotent enough
to include ***** love
then S/He is too weak
diluted
polluted

For Me
at my humane best
as an integral part
of EarthTribe We

Curiously forgiving all
Straight White idolatries
of dark fascist powers
against green and fertile
integrity.

Wasted Wings

Our mundane obsessions 
have marred and blurred 
the glorious vista of our Sky.


        Our idolatries of the day 
        have stifled our urge to go 
        far beyond what is beyond.


Although we have wings, 
we have lost the desire 
and will to really fly high.

Premium MemberRaining Love Letters

With Rainer
I would rain love letters
into this Universe
but, once started,
how could such love expressed
ever warmly end
with grateful sufficiency?

Grace unfolding within each well-placed letter
forming welcoming word families
drawn into long healthy and love-filling sentences
recomposing polypathic paragraphs,
regimes of synergizing thought
directed to Other EcoUniversities;
Universalities of which I love EgoPart.

My love letters,
words,
sentences in and to all universal regimes
fill with questions
often ending in my own hoped answers.
"How are you, handsome?"
"When are you not, beautiful?"

Earth's beauty has Her own internal purposes,
secular idolatries and sacred loves, 
from lust and greed
through WinWin Wonder
and collateral Awe,
ecstasy in EarthSoul Paradise,
neighborhood sit sites,
day through dualdark unregimented nights.

Wasted Wings

No longer in wonder,
 much less in reverential awe,
  do we gaze up to the stars
   to learn the celestial law;


the mundane obsessions
 and idolatries of the day
  have so marred and so blurred
   the glorious vista of the sky,


have so stifled the urge
 to go beyond what is beyond
  that, despite our wings,
   we've lost the very desire to fly!
