Premium Member More Gadflies and Honeybees

Gadflies
are not about group hugs.

Communion is more of a catholic honey bee paradigm
of win/win resonant satiation;
A winter seasonal anti-climax of body
but ecstatic dreamy democratic mind feeling
perpetual gratitude attitude,
safe ego
within this significant paradigmatic ecosystem
of compassion communication.

Gadflies are more about spring
and sometimes overwrought
over-heated climatic summer,
LeftWings tempted
by win/lose RightWing
LeftBrain dominant communication
competition
win/lose
either military-industrialized capitalism or corporate death
debate

And defensive
unsafe anxieties about chronically stressed economies
of capital-nutrition over-infestment,
political disempowering degeneration,
blind rabid faith prayers sacrificing costs
to be paid by future thirsty
drowning
burning
choking
starving
dying generations.

Gadflies
may not worry enough about death
of Earth's global anthro-elite ecosystem,
too frantic with hungry
competitive need to ego-replicate.

Meanwhile,
honeybees gather pollen
for ecstatic winter's
regenerative 
warm sticky climax 
eco-communion.

Dilemma

With our own numerous industrialized economic creativities
Ideologically defending all of our dangerous activities
We have successfully ruined several of our communities
Ironically, the recipients of these evils
Are not the perpetrators of the evils
They are the common men and women on the street
The innocent individuals trying to survive on their meagre resources 
They are the natives of the street
The homeless but not hopeless
But with our dangerous capitalistic activities, are we not dragging them into the forest of hopelessness?

We are the ever hungry radical capitalists
Never satisfied 
Always on the run to get more
How then do we stop this madness?
How do we rescue our planet from this looming danger?
How?

Premium Member Emotional Economics

Emotional intelligence
is best watered
with transparency
and fed through vulnerability.

Vulnerability becomes accessible
through practicing win/win courageous expectations
even in the most enduring partisan win/lose spaces,
secular and sacred

Transparency becomes articulate
through practicing multicultural curiosity
active and benign and free of prejudgment
and western white straight male
military-industrialized,
sometimes too fat and monoculturally self-satisfied
to become more than tolerant,
throwing outbound left-brain dominant 
impatient-worded weapons
where right-brain interdependent active curiosity 
listening tools
and win/win moderating skill-sets
for watering left-cognitive
and right-emotive
polyphonic intelligence
might foster rational reasons
to support resilient ego/eco-health care,

Receiving and giving balanced economic
ego-logos/eco-mythos
emotional intelligence,
emotive motives
best curiously watered
with courageous transparency
and fed through con-celebrated vulnerability.

Untitled Machine

The process in a hive
surgical snippets of allopathic
functioning and standardized
the unequal rhetoric 
of a stolen paradise

Reaction homogeneous undiversified
to clacking gear
of working mechanized
the robotic motor
for economic lives

Buy the used up trash can of civilized 

Such are the things of love in their passing
waste recycling 
no longer applicable
the useless detritus
the human industrialized 

The process in a hive

Sweet fortuitous profit
for living in life only to survive
the laws of credit
the hum drum mechanic
steadfastly brutalized

Cut, swipe the cure-all chemical
the ready cash
with its easy voodoo
its empty idols
strangle to a last breath the spiritual

Flip through the catalog of the hive

Its children become weaponized
uniformed internment
scrutinies institution
of all their varied lives
a scrape of paper tossed upon
the economies expendable garbage pile

Premium Member Fascism's Uncertain Patriotic Ring

Fascism has grown cancerous maturity
to pathologically enforce
what mere nationalistic military-industrialized supremacy
would patriotically endorse.

Supremacists of race or gender
or metaphysical systems of personal as political investment,
mistake allegiance to icons and idols and pledges
of national privilege
for personal passion and investment in gratitudes of love
for EarthTribe's WinWin Lands with blessing waters,
Gaian Principles 
of Organic Health Co-Governing Procedures.

Against fascist growing cancers
degeneratively erasing
what EarthTribe optimal regenerators
are more matriotically embracing.


Premium Member Opposites of Hot

The opposite of heat is cold
but what lies in-between?

The opposite of friction is fusion
and Earth's living systems evolve in-between.

The opposite of Capitalist Empire Building,
with military industrialized full-investment strength,
is Earth Cooperative Paradise,
flowing fusion of fertile fulfillments,
in-between ego competition monopoly games
and eco-centered global cooperative ownership,
where competitions of EitherOr economic deduction
revisit cooperations of BothAnd political seductions
to ecopolitically define love
as at best and most optimally present
within active cooperative ownership,
interdependent multicultural governance,
polypathic LeftYang-RightYin fusing climate within
as Left-Western Capitalism-Right Eastern Creolization
fusing economic and politically cooperative networks,
matriarchal/patriarchal balancing creation stories
without.

The opposite of competition's too-hot
is ice-fused cold paralysis,
but what and when and where and who and how to
flow nutritionally in-between?

Premium Member Night Drive Home

Night drive home
no cars behind or ahead
the day had been satisfying
victories, compromises, achievements

half hour to home
bubble of warm air and light
moving toward it in my metal bubble
toward my wife and children

watch for patches of ice
casually, not nervously
maintaining velocity and analyzing
Jim Hall's and Paul Desmond's Bewitched

which way should I go
back west past industrialized cities
to spruce-fir forests
then what? the same

need for man-made implements, 
refreshments, even names
they gave the rocks and trees.
Not one thing or thought uniquely mine.

Whether I am a visitor to my life
or the actual owner, inside
the bubble of air, water, blood
that must not now slide off the road

into time.

Paper Or Plastic

Plastic hearts, plastic smiles
plastic cars driving plastic miles
plastic forks, plastic knives
filling landfills, clogging lives
chemicals seeping
apathy deepening
while were sleeping
God is weeping
the smothered earth cries
under heavy, gray skies
time for every industrialized nation
to change for future generations
rid the world of a devastating cancer
when asked this question, 
find the right answer
paper or plastic?

Send Me a Letter

Send me a letter
a page of two or less counts
boredom kills me here.

Every night tears fall
no one to talk, all alone
far from you, my home.

Here, all is beautiful
industrialized, globalized
all this i see

send me a letter
with pictures of you will help
to lessen my pain.

again i want to feel
your touch, your love
to linger on your beauty.

Send me a letter
let me be a part of you
you a part of me.

Gateshead 1954

GATESHEAD  1954


My home’s  between vinegar factory
And a small-time scrap metal dealer
This town   is  an ugly and  grimy
Industrial place - and it doesn’t get any realer

Like rich woman next door to a poor  one
Newcastle’s  ashamed of her dowdy neighbour
Like San Francisco is  of Oakland
Or Washington  is of  Baltimore

Our   shared property  fence, the Tyne
Bridges are landmarks of Newcastle, it’s said
But lead to nowhere across the river line,
To my home,  grimy Gateshead.  **

It is a shadow town,  all but dead
And no one really cares  -  the best can be said  
About coming  from Gateshead  
Is…..coming from Gateshead.



**Gateshead – a large heavily  industrialized town across the River Tyne from Newcastle,
England.

The Necessities

I'm too able bodied to be this poor,
too intelligent to ignore, 
the establishment 
f$cking us over anymore. 
Why's the working class
the poorer class?
And who does the more 
important tasks?
For profit everything; 
everyday swindling; 
minimum wage 
that doesn't pay
for the necessities...  
Reassess your priorities 
as population booms
mass produced, industrialized
automation of consumption...
Maybe free market thinking 
isn't quite so free any more. 
And how is it that in the 
age of information 
education isn't free?
When it comes to the necessities  
who has the right to profit off these?
It's time we end poverty,
wise up and save our trees.
My life of luxury ain't 
stressing bout necessity; 
just eating well with shelter, 
public transit and i'll prosper.

Iceberg

A couple
Of centuries
Had passed
Since
The 
French revolution
A deadly
End
Of Dukes
And IV, V, …, IX series
It led
To an un-healthy
Pregnancy
That delivered
A heavy
Industrialized
Spots
On a few
Icebergs.

The bourgeois
Before
Passing
The entire
Royal
Family
Through
The guillotine
Before
Over-throne
A long lasting
Duke’s 
Era
Did not miss
An old wisdom
That
An iceberg
May hide
Their history
But not 
The future.
One day
It will brake 
Apart
And melt away
And it is 
Wise
Before then
To look
For better
Land 
before 
the iceberg
completes
its long lasting
evolution,
revolution,
and melt away

see,
Is not important
Being Duke
Or
Blue blood
Bourgeois
As long as
It feeds 
The 
Evolution
Of the 
Coming little
Bourgeois
To dream 
Like Dukes
Sleep 
Like Dukes
Eat like the 
Blue blood
Bourgeois
