Long Dogmatism Poems

A harrowing drive on the Schuylkill Expressway
(route 76) both heading into
(and a small number of hours later
exiting) center city Philadelphia
to Schwenksville on May 19th, 2024.

Yours truly (a doodling Yankee), and the missus
went to town, NOT...

Our humane-empowering species,
steeped in regenetic history
of human nature connecting
disconnecting
reconnecting
preconnecting,

Has an unfortunate tendency,
especially in Abrahamic historical traditions,
to imagine that our own religious tradition
is not only free of historical-cultural adaptation
but also the one supremely right-wing Way

Flourishes amidst freedom

As I age into merely spiritual memories
of those sadly/gladly left behind
in less/more egocentrically embodied forms

Co-acclimating/aggressing functions
feel more like contrasting/constrained flows
of positive/negative
sensory-neural energy,
communication systems,
nutrition/digestion networks
of regenerating/degenerating
natural/spiritualized memory.

It does seem
our spiritual advisors
lesson-givers
teachers
scripture narratives
stories
preachers
communities
economies
directors
democracies
theocracies
leaders feature
pathologies of heart
and mind

Resiliently healthy ego identity
emerges from a lifelong process
of interdependent ecosystemic individuation

As LeftBrain verbal dominance
historically emerges
from multiculturing RightBrain synergetic feelings

Unchanging physical being
frames embodied transubstantiating
creolization processes of becoming co-acclimated.

All or Nothing dogmatism
arrests incommensurable divides
between naturally embodied ego...

Psyche soaking wet with devout atheism,

NonViolent messiahs
and bodhisattvas
are not born to scorn
or demonize
or even demote
or excommunicate
win/lose competition games
like capitalism
and patriarchalism
and systemic racism
and sexism
and totalitarianism
and fundamentalism
and dogmatism

All politically privileged
undemocratic
sometimes self-righteously punishing
authoritarian parenting shame
and teaching individualistic blame
and governing with rod and staff

A worthless worm…writhing in wretchedness
Hell-bound creature because of iniquities
That was I: doomed to everlasting torment
Condemned to suffer forever…
Yet, God Almighty with His grace and compassion 
Reached down to me wondrously…
…He lifted me up from sins’...

MusEcology
is like musicology
except music theory
is about how to write
outside
resiliently capturing what is felt
and heard resonantly flowing first
inside

Using a shared
polycultural (P) notation
Language System.

While MusEcology
mind sings
and body swings
nonviolent music communication therapy

Emphatically erupting
round octaves of sound
and spectral color,

The difference
between RightWing political
and economic autism,
and Religious Right monotheism,
has been greatly exaggerated

To this post-millennial tipping point
of monopolistic omnipotence
predicting sacred Earth's matricide

By LeftBrain-RightHand 
dogmatic dominance
of a judgmental (straight-white) Jehovah
or a militaristic Allah
or a dogmatic YHWH

I believe
I can be an evangelical
multiculturally intelligent Christian
if I am not an anti-historical literalist,
a fundamentally white patriarchal dogmatist,
using holy scripture to divide and conquer
what divine creation has compassioned to regather.

I also know beyond death's shadow

Principled or vile, honorable or depraved,
we all view the same stars,
suffer the same dread.
The richest minds among us were
all once bedwetters.

The puerile erect walls like Trump’s fortification,
they imagine iron and concrete impervious to the
ghosts of...

If black only stood and served an evil purpose

The naked truth sprinkles holy water
at curfew hours with touch of morbidity.
I'm on the brink of shortages -- of food and faith,

A more prolific key
to preventing a sinful monoculture of crime
is recreating a sincere inclusive climate 
for trauma prevention

Just as a more robust tool
for healing narcissistic egocentrism
is curiosity to understand
catastrophic anthro-supremacism

Just as a more effective resource

Does the feasting of a little cat make a tiger strong?

Human conditions have no precedence
 Over dogmatism,  mindlessness, hatred

Religion  and exploitation  of 
one's mind and body,  One's lineage
and whence it came from.

Generation to Generation  makes
everyone unique and universal in
all magnitudes...

When new generations come
They bring changes fresh and new
Turning tables, setting straight
Many things that were askew
See their potency, their power
Watch how they uproot beliefs
They won’t stand for dogmatism
They will loath that what deceives
With the changing...
