Long Divestments Poems

I have had a highly redundant,
one might even choose polypathic,
graduate studies experience
spanning my adult life to date.

This began with a semester of Philosophy.
Just enough to learn I wanted something more experiential,
a more embodied communication environment...

I remember several prayers
to invoke God's blessings on America,
a reminder of traditional political 
mindfulness?
Fundamental lack of awareness 
of righteous economic investments
in win/win GoldenRule

No one "keeps"
or "makes"
this confederation of uniting states great,
unless we democratically...

Today we begin with a quote from Eisenstein
with commentary in brackets
informed by Bucky Fuller's cooperative metaphysic 
of Synergetic Steerage.

Why does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?

Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?

Even resonance

My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son
wears his disabling ADHD label uncomfortably,
impatiently,
like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.

His First, and hopefully last, Girl
is an ADHD Latina,
with sparkling...

When Einstein was asked, by a journalist, how he came up with the theory of relativity,

In passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.

In political science,
large-scale powers for proactive compassion
resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition,
preferring pro-active energy for liberal love
constrains against investments in conserving...

If Laudato Si'
were written by Pope Francine
and not me
replacing Pope Francis's
root anthrosupremacist choices
with similar
but more nuanced
and multiculturally inclusive choices,
cooperatively healthy premises
might further enlighten
to resolutely empower
a rather more transubstantially engaging
creolizing catholic haute cuisine.

Jesus help me,

to Adam's Sacred Son,
I can't be birthin' all these ego-dominating babies,

Playing WinLose conservative
rather than defaulting WinWin Green Liberation,
sets up the ultimate epic double-bind,
a NegativgEnergy
anti-trusting reverberation
against Earth's co-gravitation.

If I choose to Win together

We are nearly all macro-economic capitalists
Yet micro-economic cooperativists

Yet,

Public, or even familial, contracts
with predative purposes and rights given and received

So local folks

Wow, look, we can save $500!

I wonder how much we must invest

Oh, I see.
We need only buy a new or used car,

"Nature yields to artifice,

Winning yields to lost and last identity,

We all began somewhere
not our own
and not on our own.

All life began somewhere
within Earth's regenerative systems
not our own,
as did Earth

No one is autonomously entitled
to sustained ego-awareness,
much less self-promoting narcissism.

Earth began someplace
beyond His/Her own north...

I am anxious
as my 5:30 beeping alarm

longing for more sleep

to release from this first crisis
for depressing life's day-rousing...

Earth History, lectured Fr. Time,
has always favored leftbrain culture,
too either/or bipolar

It was leftbrain's technology of coins

I've heard it said,
and seen it done,

"This currency of capitalism

And, I've heard good cooperative capitalists say,
perhaps a bit too loudly,

merely innocent paper and metal-based resource,

Communion does not approach dawn
to vilify our most public egotistic victims
