Long Civics Poems

How was school today?

Fine.

Did you learn anything important?

Maybe. I'm not sure yet.

Really? What are you considering?

We talked about Howard Odum's natural trinity
of altruism.

Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken...

When the StraightWhite Patriarchal President
sent out his Praise and Thanks Message
"We love you"
to those who would cathartically enjoy beheading
VicePresident St. Peter's Pence 
loves homophobic St. Paul,

This felt like too much tolerating
an unconstitutional intolerable
absence of basic...

I feel like a high school civics class dropout.

So much confuses me,
to this day, you see,
about democratic constitutional legal equity,
which feels like it should have WinWin original empowerment intent,
about public and private rights, unbent

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
ego/eco-centering
co-invested re-centering,
co-acclimating interior and exterior
bilaterally systemic infrastructure

Degenerative issues for the gunshop owner
are also regenerative opportunities from the gardener.

Lack of civil civics lessons slacked 
for small persons made of evil
is also opportunity to learn love's live,
is evil respelled backward.

I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN A MAN WOULDNT CONSIDER LISTNING

Faith in politics is not popular.
Other than optimistic civics teachers
and elected office holders,
faith feels troublesome
when mixed with social empowerment
over Others.

"Others" holds and hides broad diversity:
children
women
people of color
prisoners
slaves
indentured servants
pets
cattle
sheep
farms
plantations
ranches
watersheds
melting ice caps
rising sea levels
polluted air
worn out topsoil

--Evil starts as germinated seeds,
noxious weeds of social infestation,
spreading and suffocating human diversity,
pushing all freedoms into extinction,
the loss of Liberty's creed,,
--Men-Women birth their offspring,
but raised by the State,
alienated offspring grow into bastards,
by design to this...

A natural/spiritual,
multicultural,
bicameral dialogue
develops a healthy cognitive/affective individual,

So too,
development of a metaphysical system,
is, through diverse seasons,
creative
and re-creative
and pre-creative
and un-creative
and not un-creative
in-between synthesis

Of physical facts
and metaphysically felt ideas
out of which a new contagious 
healthy
robust
resonant
resilient paradigm

Emerges

re-emerges
pre-merges
un-merges
not un-merges
democratically organic
holistically...

I know so little of this theory, so
I go to Wikipedia. No help!
I'm reading how it stems from Marxism, and 
the struggle of the classes throughout time.
So next I search for tenents of this theory.

As Erica fought for her liberty
She be truly began to see
What life would be like for her
But her troubles only got rougher
As she grew and claimed more 
She often left others broken and sore
She destroyed...

The collared dog awaits his master’s love
and laps and licks the blessed hand above,

while the wolf, ephemeral shaddow of the unbiddable wild
drinks from the crystal streams descending the mountain.

We have had a good run,
peerless under the sun,
sired the likes of Einstein, 
Da Vinci and Beethoven,
though such genius is lost
on the bear and the pelican. 

But perhaps our greatest gift

I’ll make heaven
And in this heaven you...
