Long Autocracy Poems

When oppositional cognitive dissonance 
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time 
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace

Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you

And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience

Imagine your healthiest body
is a democratic
self/other empowering organism

Ideally,
most nutritionally,
nurtured by an also open,
living,
dynamic win/win preferential,
evolving,
revolving planetary universe,
in many sacred times and places
also known as MotherEarth.

Notice
your democratic bodymind
is an open
holistic

co-acclimating interior and exterior

Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.

Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species

It is confusing:
to politically powerful feelings,
to enlightened economic thoughts,
to systemically resilient integrity,
to RightBrain healthwealth uniting values,

When a confederated government
values home owner residents
for their economic future capital 
gaining value

More LeftBrain dominantly
than indigenous wisdom
that Earth Cooperative Ownership
is...

I'm in bondage, is this a dream
I'm governed by extremes
Let's leave this land of tyranny
Oh, let us run away
Escape on to a new land of liberty
"people who survive war and escape tyranny"

Despotism, absolute power, autocracy,
Dictatorship,...

There are two ways of being in this world,
the eagle and the serpent, sometimes called:
while one seeks boundless heaven, wings unfurled,
the other through low dirt has always crawled,
and seeks to crush or poison.  Naked,...

Tasty democratic roots
are made of trusted vines

Healthy democracy
does not chronically debate
to derail indigenous theocracy
nor diminish pursuit of individual liberty
to co-invest in political
and religious
and sexual powers
of cooperatively focused light
bright polyphonic harmony

But does compassionately refine
individual human freedoms

I'm at the mall
waiting for my new lenses
to find their inside home
in my old outside frames,

Hopefully
not like new wine
in old 
opaque skins.

I try to engage
with an anthro-war story,
"The Invisible Woman"

Feeling myself silently camouflaged
in a sedate...

When we compare the numbers

African rape of democracy 
She is citadel of beauty,
Crown in all nature bulden 
Nature made her, her blessing of

Beware of politicians whose active manifesto
Is always to speak ill of other candidates and opposition parties.
They are the real problems!

Beware of political goons and rumour-mongers, spinning allegations 
Twining civil questions, yakking all day but never...

Both paradise and hell
have their detractors.

I find some exaggerated truth
in this belief--
one person's paradise
is another's hell.

An eternity
of worshiping an unchanging
omnipotent
omniscient
omnipresent 
mono-egotistical god
is not my idea of healthy re-creation.

I have never heard this
in reverse--
One person's hell

Africa, can rise.
But that is only if we are ready to fight.
And to end our plight,
Our weakness should come to light. 
But Africans think is normal?

None keeps its inventory
But it creeps into a story
A story of a modern society
Which is plural in nature;
Partly of a rural nurture
Partly of an urban stature
Yet must remain together
Lest it falls a part 
For unity...
