Ecclesia
An old Greek word, ecclesia,
is often translated as church,
but could also be thought of as a civilization
acting civilly,
as a citizenry
acting as responsible citizens.
The noun side of Ecclesia
casts residents as consumers
of democratic and economic cooperative systems,
while...

Parting Instructions For My Oldest
You did not choose to be born,
much less Black Lives Really Should Equally Matter born
into this legacy,
your familial and civil Two-Connecticuts destiny.
I realize that,
And regret perhaps my own choices
in response to invitations for care-giving
and healthcare-receiving
were...

Cannabis Culture
Already an apology is due,
which is only better
than one already overdue,
Yes, I know cannabis
is a place of multiple
and diversely celebrated
subcultures,
And, yes, I realize chaos
and complexity may be civilly sipped
and thirstily gulped
from diverse alcohol
subcultures,
pedigrees,
castes of enumerated...

Columbian Uncivil Allegiances
It was a nasty war.
To call it an UnCivil War
is to avoid an obvious oxymoron
as embarrassing as Military Vitriolic Intelligence
through lack of Anger and Fear Management,
violently over-industrious absence of mutual civility.
We were too optimistic
about democracy's...

Integrity's Confusion
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...

Bad Humors Destroy Feelers
Good Humors Create Healers
Electing and selecting humorless weaponed officials
to legislate and administer laws
empowering challenged and challenging
unarmed natures,
is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake
to advocate with and for patience,
understanding through calming and merciful listening
to apply active love's...

Slow Grown Salvation
I wonder if salvation
[and ecologies of cooperative win/win forgiveness,
and political powers of health-trusting democracy,
and investment economies of mercy
beyond a capital self-investment monoculture]
Basking in privileged redemption economies
for chosen people only
can be therapeutically transformed
by inviting non-violent communication...

Howami Hmm Good Question
Howami? hmm... good question,
but for some unknown reason
more tired than usual...,
without daily twenty four hours
proper rest, I feel haggard.
I strongly suspect (a hunch acquired
upon returning home
after visiting Notre Dame)
deep sleep interruptions...
attributed to uncontrollable need:

Multi-Di-Minstrel Message, Reprisal
Salutations!
Are we all just a figment of GOD's imagination?
Or just a simple angle of schematical equation.
Perhaps, we’re just a footnote in God’s mental thots?
He’s gotta BIG BANG Universe to run, does He...

Civility and Man: A Historical View
Since man began to populate the earth,
And feel the pull of Satan’s evil ways.
The angels came to teach the fallen souls:
Proposing righteous ways to live earth days.

What Was That Shadow Under My Dress
You took me so far from myself, that I forgot who I was
A stranger looked back at me in my own mirror
I heard a little girl crying inside, but yet I couldn’t see her
What was...

Waiting for Waiting’s End
The chancy countdown clock of my mortality
is ticking toward some unknown preset alarm.
I’m aware of every taciturn tick tock
in unrecoverable moments spent waiting
for something to happen…
and I do not wait well.
I wait for stiff slices...

Silent Storm Seduction
She laces this dark late winter's evening
with white manna grace,
flowing flying frosting
folding in and over and around
dark naked tree limbs
Dressed up and out
under ice limned networks
down in-flowing rivers
emptying onto cold cover
of frozen lace-flake
shivering...

Donald's Dynasty Designs
I hear Donald Trump
would love to bring to Republican plutocracy
what Abraham Lincoln represented for civilly warring democracy,
but that anti-enslavement resolution
is too hard for me to focus and sustain
in Trump is DivineTrump Land.
What remains most easily
is...

My Five-Five-Fingers
I
My five-five-fingers of my hands
Zestfully lived In serenity.
The three thrill fingers of my right hand:
Thumb, index finger and middle finger
Stoutly lived civilly and gleefully
Amongst her BROTHERS:
They rested gleefully upon the placid,

Restorying Earthjustice
What was it that you said
about English law traditions
with two heads
One for protecting real property rights
of monotheistic kings
to autonomously legislate their deeds
by dogmatic decree
Unchanging entitled ownership
of land
and all commodities upon Her
Royal manifest destiny over upstarts
serfs
soldiers

Atention: U S Government
To the U S government
and all your worthless bureaucratic agencies,
but also more importantly
to all you global bankers especially.

Yesterday's Kerfuffle
At the capitol rotunda
Two senators faced off on
Gun rights versus oversight
Each side bunkered in
Intractable, their way to win
Sharp tongued irate debate
Open thinking went kerplunk
Head to head, noses pressing
Like two rams rutting
One grabbed a neck
The other...

The Dishonor Repaired
Through cotton thistles
A young woman walks embroidering tears
With a seven month old
That moves and dreams in her womb.
The boyfriend who impregnated her
Has put a chastity belt on her
Throwing the lock
And taking the key
It is...

Faces were all aglow this Yuletide with happiness unrestrained!
With ancient carols sung by jubilant choirs we were entertained!
Good folk generously shared their love, fellowship and cheer!
Why can't we celebrate the Christmas Spirit throughout the year?

Born and Bred
Goshen ghettofied,
born and bred
Yeah, I’m the teen darkie
with the big nose
and the nappy head
Rolling with my homies
on an asphalt bounce,
with the music on blast
Yeah, we’re the young darkies
with the big lips ...
American society outcasts

In Perpetuity
Offensively defensive posturing
No stopping in sight
No reflection in view
Poisonous to everyone around you
Syphoning greed at record speed
Unchecked unseen
Hollowing the land
Blindly defending your position
Against any raised hand
Any voice of reason
How did we even get here?
We’d have...
