Referencing this touchstone as an ecopolitical WinWin,
unlike Parisian multicultural investments in climate health,

Coercion began
as the ground surrounds the seed
baring life and truth
A kingdom of soil
An army of soiled crickets
A pubescent king
Presenting Jo Jo
the leader of the region
and sire to the throne
Forced to lead the masses
basis chases hatred
Bandaged...

What to gladly sing
about our global economic politics
and socially inept monoculturing predation?
divinely self-righteous 
missionary terrorist zeal
also known as religious
colonization.

Such global
and national
and local PatriarchalCapitalist
RightWing unhealthy issues

Seem to have started
sometime after we stopped
singing and dancing 
together

And before...

Are we really free?*
Free to chose to:
Go wherever we please? 
Do whatever we desire?
Be with whom we wish? 
Pick whichever thing we fancy?
Without coercion? 
Without ever being obliged by an unseen force in 
A predetermined...

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous...

Trump elected.

I were seriously infected.
For being part of a team,
That shares Trump's
American dream!

Of an America strong and 
free of government coercion, 
And unwilling to be brainwashed into
Socialistic promises...

Didactic old man
Fiddling with fright
As tears curled down 
From a bemoaned and fretted face
To his foaming lip
The tears thirst bitter taste
Spiced with desired regret
Of an action already finished
Crime begets an accidental skirmish
~
His hands
Those quivering hands
Protective...

Take care of her 
Keeping toes and ties off the ground
Beware of those with savage intent
To draw her down
Beware those of quisling heart
Who seek only to pillage then plunder her

Looked up and down, right and left
Wondering why life suffers a theft
Subtracted beauty from my chin cleft

and pundits have it over poets.
All to the good because if you think America's
doing just fine, don't skip to the poetry reviews.
Our enemies are barbarous, our allies duplicitous
