Tardigrades aka Water Bears, Moss Piglets

Before T-Rex appeared and the Dodo bird disappeared,
Leading to modern-day scientific knowledge increasement,
Creatures of infinitesimal size called ‘Tardigrades’ endure,
Were and are living and thriving, just about anywhere on earth.

What is necessary
to sacred grace
and secular humane dignity 
of wealthy space--
To life as HealthyRights,
and not so much MonoCulturing Wrongs?

If sufficiently encultured,
embedded,
centered,
balanced--
If vulnerably innocent
RightBrain transparent
with nutritional desire,
active longing,
camouflaged RightBrain belongings,
reactings,
recreations--
We grow interior with exterior
mutual WinWin integrity

Climate change
does nearly
but not neatly cover up
discomforting complexities
of losing polyculturally rich ecosystems
like transportive air and water
and sacred communion
of sovereign feasting nations

Not really dealing with unresolved issues
like economic boundary chaos

Between each of four regenerative
and degenerative
annual cycling...

Long miles of tedious journey,
Missing my darling honey.
Travelling impatiently, spend thousands of

Hope god will bless me with ma lucky soul

Wrapped by...

I am reading
"Democracy in Black"
by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
but continue reconstructing this title
"Hypocrisy in Only White."

Because

look back to my own self-interests in history
as archaeological digging and prying and discovery,
adventure and curiosity

For milliards of tough years
You have stood in our midst
Unperturbed, indomitable
And you have enticed the rain
And it has showered our fields
Our ridges and verdant plains
And filled not only our rivers
But our streams and rivulets
And much...

Lost and found
Santa Claus;
Stuck in chimney

~~~~~~~~~


Holiday moods
Shopping sprees;
Love feels unloved

~~~~~~~~~


Nice gift wraps
Costly purchases;
Absent heart

~~~~~~~~~


Booze and buzz
Too much fuss;
Christmassy detours

~~~~~~~~~


King of Love
Waits outside knocking;
Unnoticed alone

~~~~~~~~~


Who are you?
Yeshua or Christ:
Excuse for Christmas

Choirs sing
People entertained;
Ritual celebration

Town decked

Born in the dark depths of the ocean.
An abnormality, random variable, first of its kind.

Looking for a home.
Warm ocean currents with the softness of spring
The blooming corals of youth

We are all essentially African. That's where humanity first took birth.
Some then left Africa to populate every land mass on planet earth.
Those of us who remained in equatorial Africa kept our very dark protective skin.

June conspires
Sun and rain and wind;
Equatorial somnolence


Ways and means
Cluster of conflicts;
Confront life's business


Down winding roads
Cityscapes retreat;
Highrise dwellings clutter


Bus ride to nowhere
New estates emerge;
Road map carbon copy


News flash and highlights
Routine monotony presides;
Celebrate gratitude then


Order in sure...

some say maybe
