a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,

as I listen...

with timely regenerative change
without untimely degenerative treasons

and Her EarthTribes.

suspiciously diabolical
competitive win/lose opposition

kinda venomously professional
commodified LeftBrain dominant encultured
prejudiced inside privileged
ego-supremacist voices.
In Regenerative Communication,

Peak Spiritual CommunicationsWhen our religious practice

unchanging tradition voices
erode out of line,
escape outside the box

compassionately communing inter-relationships,
peak and everyday
ectosystemic elationships
Then our spiritual experience
has also been monoculturally segregated
