Poverty Has a Rich Side,Too...

For those being born wealthy,
there's something missing
to make them complete;
vast fortunes don't make
them fully competitive,
or eagerly inventive,
because comfort has already
bee given to them...


Realize that poverty has a rich side,too; 
the kindness of friends to share in every smile,
those helping hands to give what they can,
and warm arms embracing:  to gather your strength when you have none!
I desire nothing besides being strong and trusting anyone who's true,  
to overcome all hurdles and reject pride,
opposing temptation and unsound advice;
and who can really know me...better than I? 


Gamblers and losers will tell you otherwise,
" Squander your money for a chance at being super-rich!"
And will luck open its gates to let abundance flow?
You have bashfully peaked across the only side of the good life,
but not a glance of compassion was given to begin with, 
because a diamond is more vain than a stone!
Shelter from cold is home to vagrants with improper attire,
prayers can help one find purpose...not to face life alone!

The Bird With a Message

The bird with a message 
Sold out citizens 
Are not far from our identity
Our future is on sales 
Yet the young are busy 
On swag 
Competitive for the wrong 
Reason 
Busy on crimes for a greener
Pasture
While our land is on sales 
But who cares 

The bird with a message 
We are not far to lose
What it only once and 
For a life time 
We have no other home 
But our home 
We have no other pride 
But the dignity of our 
Home land 
But am sorry now 
Yes to all my fellow youth 
Home and abroad 
Am sorry our land is 
On sales 
So clear right in front 
Of our view 
Yet we are busy 
Swaging
Is a shame 

The bird with a message 
Since when do we have 
Chinese friends 
When was the Genesis 
Of our relationship with China
Can any one show me their 
Sincere generosity in Africa 
If not for their profit 
How come suddenly
They are invading our 
Land 
Suddenly they are now our 
Saviour's indeed
What an ignorance 

The bird with a message
The giver never lack 
Yet Africa case remains
The opposite 
Despite we feed the world 
Yet we never run out of 
The nets of poverty 
How come things never change 
How come suddenly 
Our leaders are borrowers 
How come China suddenly 
Is this generous to AFRICA
I hope not to fight for my space
With a Chinese one day in africa
This makes me curious
And in this dept of curiosity
I spread my human wings 
with a my poems to all the 
Youth in africa just like
The bird with a message

Premium Member Birth of a Nation, Revisited

Birth of a Nation, Revisited.

Yo, In this birthing of new imagination,
Competitive flows stifle my creativity,
But in the inertia of lifting my sisters,
I am catapulted to new day and night dreams of joy,
My budget is tight cause’ I care more about poverty than riches,
And my freestyle flow is kinda weak, cause I’m a geek from the suburbs,
But God loves me still the same,
Tupac, Breed, Clapton, Mayard, prophets spanning generations,
Barak, a new kind of king that trades his crown for true democracy,
Democrats prayin’, Yo that’s a new day dawning,
Cause now its all over,
Cause when progressives start seekin’ the Divine,
That’s the whole code cracked,
Yo this path I walk is tired,
Yo this path I walk is tumultuous,
But when I see Barak steppin’ out of shells of racist idolatry and uniting a nation,
Then I know I chose correctly.
Yo this path I walk is tired,
Yo this path I walk is tumultuous,
But when I see apostles speekin’ of justice, mercy, and faith instead of straining 
over gnats of imposed sexuality, and swallowing camels of foreign fears,
Then tears flow, and I know its all worth it baby!!
Just me and Jesus, Just you and Jesus, Praisin’, Worshippin’, and putting up 
free swim centers in the projects,
What a Nation!
Not quite yet, but in the makin’
I can’t quite taste it, but I can see it,
And seeing is the beginning.
Yo can it be, I ask you?
Can it be, that we be the first Rome to voluntary step off its thrown of hubris,
To step off its thrown of unjust domination,
Economic silos destroying other folks sense of belonging,
And say to the World, “Yo God loves us, However you conceive of her, she loves 
us, and that’s enough, so let’s party!!”

Competitive Treadmill of Ubiquity

I me 2 

Am fiercely competitive as well

Suppose that is not so much a new

But commonality thread

That bonds us together

Surely makes us in fact human 

Like string flaccidly detached from
an ailing kite

Floating slowly ebbing away on
a windless day

With NA emblazoned in bold capital
letters upon it in scarlet red hue on
the front and BS in brown on the back 

Signaling another disappointing cost
truly must ensue 

As failure and disappointed are 
something not a new as you have
had too many 

But worry not my erstwhile child as
just as well maybe in your future lie's 

Where your kite is taken forth from here
upon it's whimsical journey unto a foreign
land

May just in fact be the very place it
was destined for all along

Where your message is quoted 
in winning speeches everywhere
and everyone knows just who you are

Which if you are ever lucky enough
to get to visit 1 day on your travels 

Be best prepared for you will be greeted 
and treated like a stellar star the likes
of which never seen before

Because in essence of there only be
one true thread that binds us all the
world over

Then your word's and thoughts underpin
and thread effortlessly through the eye
of it's compass needle 

And although with love refrain and heavy
heart this may not be deemed your time
and place to shine

Know that if in this particular place in
your own individual unique talent may
not well be appreciated and noticed 

Go and take a look outside tonight
whilst twinkle starlight moon doth shine

And realize the world is not just 1 single
place but a multitude of different places
with countless different thoughts ideas
and oh so welcoming faces

Just waiting for the like of you to light
it up with your firework rocket bursts 
and spark it into life


Premium Member Recreative Tensions

You might believe competitive evolution
also shows potential for cooperative co-creation
because it takes at least two reiterative trends to tangle 
and tango.

And your contentment could include polypathic tensions
and intentions
and extensions
seeking further refinement
and smoother flowing
undulating
co-resonant resolutions.

Perhaps all you have implied is a reverse of focus,
from competition as LeftBrain dominant
to invite cooperation as RightBrain co-dominant.

And
you might argue
and I might agree 
to adjust our zero-sum core center 
is to change almost nothing significant at all
and yet also profoundly reverse everything
within cultures of regenerate-degenerate health
recovering from pathology.

Introspection

I’m a rhymer all-the-timer
And a follower of rules.
I’m afraid of crowded places
And of virus molecules.

I’m a reader and a leader
In resisting any change.
I’m content with my surroundings;
Feel no need to rearrange.

I am jealous and I’m zealous
When it comes to kith and kin.
I’m competitive in sports and games
And always play to win.

My complacence with impatience
Means, for me, there is no cure
And when stressed I freak out quickly.
(I’m not proud of that, for sure.)

Introspection and reflection
Are what all these hours can do.
What’s the point of all this knowledge?
I don’t really have a clue.

Premium Member Orthodoxy v Orthopraxis

Yogi Berra said:
In theory there is no difference from practice.
In practice, there is

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory
there is no difference from practice
of win/win compassion.
Yet, in Business as Win/Lose Usual
Patriarchal political monoculturing practice
and Capital monopolistic economic intent
there are no virtues calculated for compassionate communication,
for merciful bipartisan political views,
and co-redemptive forgiveness
for matricidal sins 
of our StraightWhite Patriarchs

Ignorant about healthy polycultural,
resilient,
therapeutic, 
synergetic relationships
in response to systemic trauma.

Nonviolent communication orthodoxy
enlightens every thing
but nothing merely pleasant prevails.
Compassion's transparent and vulnerable win/win practice
unveils every healthy peak relationship
becoming crown/root 
mind/body
co-empowered
but no one self-contained person 
knows why silent wisdom
feels more comprehensive
than voiced knowledge
as verb action choices
feel more committed
than nouned voices
of love.

In our Earth-Healing lab,
nonviolent verbal theory
and compassionate nonverbal practice
are bicamerally combined:
nothing win/lose prevails
and every resilient relationship
co-passionately feels why
not 1 AND not 0 theoretical 
universal convex AND unitarian concave
bilateral communication assumptions
do not not positively comply
with Earth's Whole Open EcoSystemic
virtuously therapeutic multicultural practice
of avoiding viciously competitive 
1-DominantYang v 0-RecessiveYin
colonizing practices
for lack of sufficiently inclusive
warm and boundless
peak passion/pleasure gratitude

Positive fore-given-nest

renouned verb-alive-able 
1/0 co-empathic ecstatic 
win/win polypathic attitude.

Premium Member Fresh Air

I was invited to the FRESH urban farm
for youth development
of plants and people
and a more nutritionally just planet,
for an interview.

As usual
I began with uncovering 
where FRESH compassion
for Earth's healing
stands and sits and kneels,
laughs and cries,
works and plays,
multiculturally races 
and feels stuck right here
in stagnant depressing Now.

What nutritional care giving and receiving services
does FRESH have Here/Now passion for
and feel therapeutically missioned
to claim within NewLondon's WinWin
ecopolitical goodfaith guilds
and subcommunities,
cooperatively interdependent stakeholders?

We use FoodJustice,
fuel fairness,
Positive Nutritional Energy
to reconnect our subcommunities,
to actively mentor global ecological stewardship,
theological ZeroZone Paradise Management,
Earth sanctity, without being sanctimonious,
to inspire nondual nature/spirit youth leaders
to invite
and incite green restoring change,
nutritionally within
as without.

What would you like to permaculturally design
nutritionally together as EarthTribe
that you cannot nurture autonomously,
monoculturally anthro-centric,
colonizing Win/Lose LeftBrain dominance
stuck in Lose/Lose pathology trends
of Left against Right dissonance.

We would like to reverse
Ecological/Theological racing toward mutually unredeemable
Loss of economic health 
caused by shrinking WinWin wealth,
under-invested in climate therapy,
nutritionally challenged
by way too much competitive investment
in Either/Or
LeftBrain
autonomous
egocentric
secular dominance
OVER
RightBrain 
WiseElder 
sacred 
green nutritional prominence.

Of course you do.
Why else would you be called FRESH?

Premium Member Maturing Competitive Paths

Leaf dies in air  

Trees going bare  

Death stalks the woods  

Of those athletically good  

Sweating summer heat  

In games where they compete  

Never do they cheat  

Being honest and true  

Acting cool  

Laughing fools  

Champions determined  

Life lessons learning  

Decision final and confirmed  

Hardware issue no longer a concern  

Northern success exposed 

Confederates propose  

Move inside  

Red lights will guide  

Scores made  

Making the grade  

Finally, a trade  

Check signed, saying paid  

Shutting mouth  

Going south  

Community warm  

Staying in University dorm  

Will make this undergraduate program a winner  

Before the all-inclusive meal plan dinner  

Then off to the library and study  

Learn how to make, investment money  

Earning a degree, that is what is funny  

Since making field goals really wasn’t a realistic thing  

Along with not being able to sing  

But books in print  

Will hint  

Proper direction  

After securing academic protection
