Premium Member Therapeutic Trauma

TransGender Women of Color, have the advantage
in a white male dominant culture,
have an advantage
for finding therapeutic tools
for awareness of marginalizing
traumatic business as usual
weapons against Earth's universal health care.

Just as RightBrain co-investors
in sharing traumatic fear
and therapeutic love feelings
have the open awareness advantage
in a LeftBrain dominant tragic/comedic 
ZeroSum 
closed-system 
degenerating
entropic 
misanthropic monoculture

Cooperatively finding Left/Right win/win co-operative
resonant potential
where Republican wealthy capitalists
must live unliberties of dissonance
with all that great spiritual leaders have taught
about compassion 
experiencing nonviolence
and sacred integrity of co-empathic
co-investment narratives in
and on
and under
and above
Whole OpenSystemic Earth.

I wish there were more middle-range,
more passionate mediation space,
more sacred forgiving pace,
less racing
avidly terrified of insufficient 
human profit place,

A more comforting 
short-term purgatory
between RightWing
"Vengeance is Mine"
saith The SWM Lord

And quasi-liberated LeftWing
"Seize Our Feminist SelfServing Day"

Ignoring spacious win/win potential
sharing stories
of when our species
has best grabbed hold
of Self/Other Empowering Ways
to co-operate humane multicultural
interreligious integrity
with EarthPatriotic polycultural
interdependent synergy

No longer ignoring,
but rather inviting,
our potential,
historical,
polycultural loving
and curious,
engaging,
mysteriously regenerative
EarthEmpowering Nights

Reflecting stardust bright
comforting integrity,
agreeing to agree
with therapeutic loving peace
personal stories 
politically empowering

Engaging cooperative embrace
with constant curiosity
rather than settling for saving face
midst mindless mediocrity

Settling for another story
of anxious loss
and fear
that not only I don't count,
but we don't matter

When traumatic win/lose risks
outweigh therapeutic win/win
co-passionately cooperative,
curiously co-empathic
opportunities.


Premium Member Not Giving Power Away

One cooperative way to take back disempowering choices
is to teach and mentor our young
not to give empowerment
to disempowering plutocrats,
anti-democratic Win-Lose supremacists,
when casting ballots
and when choosing whom to invest in
and whom to listen to
and whom to read
and whom to invite
into our cooperatively-owned,
non-violent,
mediating communication places.

Asserting mutually-held rights
to speak your healthy
or unhealthy
mind,
usually a dipolar hybrid of healthy and unhealthy consciousness
of creative and decomposing power analysis,
experience,
ego-reflection and eco-deflection,
does not further stipulate
investigative journalists
and actively healthy children
are required to hold oppressive microphones
while NegativEnergy moves from one ageist,
sexist,
racist,
homophobic,
xenophobic remark
toward its inevitable egocentric last LoseLose gasp.

It seems awkward
and embarrassing
to listen to,
much more speak,
such ignorance
given full disenculturing volume,
space,
listening sit-spot place
inside millions of health-vocational outdoor daytime voices
and nighttime terror lives.

One cooperative way to hold empowerment
is to invest only in PositivEnergy,
rather than NegativEnergy anti-democratic,
reinvest in goodfaith-investors,
healthy trust co-operators.

If the medium
is at least part of the message,
then the lack of media,
absence of listening,
is at least part of non-violent communication
to free PositivEnergy good faith speech
restoring health with cooperative all.

How Can We Not Have This Conversation

How can we not have this conversation
where footprints of the poor vanish
beneath the boots of investors, 
and the river sings only
to those who can afford its luxury? 

In Chobe, the elephants roam free, 
but people walk caged in poverty.
We call it coexistence
when tusks are protected, 
but mothers bury their sons
gored near neglected kraals.
And no one comes
unless it's a game drive
and the victim is not black.

How can we not speak
when the lion's roar is louder
than a widow's cry for compensation? 
When leopards eat goats
and ministries write reports not cheques? 

Let's talk about the five-star smiles
that greet foreign tongues
while the Batswana mop floors, serve beer, and sleep on concrete after ten-hour shifts.
Let's talk about uniforms and pay slips
that smell like servitude, 
contracts folded into silence
in offices lined with antelope heads.

And let's speak of the racism
how a Black woman was shot by a white woman
who said, "I thought it was a monkey."
As if her body was a silhouette of threat.
As if Blackness is always a blur
on the edge of someone else's comfort.
The river bore witness, but the law shrugged, 
and headlines softened the bullet.

Let's talk of fishermen
banished from their birthright, 
told their canoes spoil the view, 
that their laughter scares the tourists, 
that their presence is pollution.
Let's speak of lodge owners
who toss insults like breadcrumbs
to those who clean their sheets
lazy, slow, replaceable.
No chains, but contracts.
No slurs, just smiles
with knives beneath them.

We cannot be quiet
when the sun sets
behind lodges built on lies, 
and the river is fenced
not for safety, but exclusion.

How can we not speak
of the politics of permits, 
where land is leased
like livestock, 
and council seats are auctioned
to the highest foreign bidder? 
Corruption blooms like water hyacinth, 
choking life from the roots
of communal trust.

The sand knows.
The baobabs know.
Even the crocodiles know
how long we've swallowed
our own tongues
to protect the myth of peace.

So let us talk.
Let us gather in the heat
of midday truth, 
where no luxury air-con hums.
Let us speak until the sky listens, 
until justice stalks this land
as fiercely as the wild.

Because silence, here, 
is complicity.
And we have been quiet
for far too long.

Premium Member The Derided Inventor

An independent inventor, Stanley Meyer
Delved into his innate cauldron of genius
Thought ingenuously out-of-the-box
He’d revolutionize the automobile industry.

He claimed to have designed an engine
That he designated as the water fuel cell
Using the established principle of electrolysis
Of water making hydrogen, burnt to generate energy.

Although the concept in theory seemed feasible
Meyer couldn’t demonstrate that it really worked
Skeptics branded the claim pseudoscience and fraudulent
So, water as an engine fuel remained a myth.

Meyer’s innovative design interested some investors
His effort and idea upset the influential oil companies
It’s unclear if his untimely unusual death was connived
Or he actually succumbed to cerebral aneurysm. 

Meyer failed to give the world unlimited supply of fuel
But he survives in mystery as a derided inventor.

GOVERNMENT

Government was created to make the citizens' lives better, to make all of our days bright. 
Government should never make us pay, they should help us live our best days.
 If I ran the government, I would never make the citizens pay, I would do a type of profit-sharing business and give each one their profit. 
Like all businesses, a country is like a business, and the people are the investors, they live and take care of their surroundings. 
Government should not allow the citizens to become the product and make them pay for others to get rich and make us all get sick and left to live out in the cold and dark. 
Like all businesses, it has its ups and downs, lessons are learned, and we move on with better and better ways to grow and produce for the future of all citizens.
I read of the most successful American Native Indian tribe and how they use the profit-sharing type of government and they have been very successful. 
Making our tomorrows better, with each one of our works, lets us build and learn for all of us, making us have less stress and better retirements. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

Premium Member Commerce of Communion

Competing to weaken inappropriate business models for healthy government
too industriously advocating automated capital-enriching violence
despite co-arising globally stressed-out climates
is not an eco-theologist apologist's leading non-trump card.

Connecting intentionally cooperative people
and communing plants
and healthy commingling planet
more polypathically ego/ecotherapeutic
seems more effectively persuasive
toward historically therapeutic economic-political case studies
and multiculturing communion designs for communal integrity
through deep LeftMind with RightBody co-dominant bicameral listening
and beauty glistening

Acting widely in-between

1. Resilient Western competing co-investors 
in healthy cooperative ownership 
and management 
and governing
and inclusive democratic authority
and co-responsibility for rights to speak and rites to listen or not
and non-sectarian integrity of thought 
with co-passionate feeling models, and

2. Resonant Eastern extended family cooperative communion 
poly-theological timeless models
intending eco-faith in multi-health communities 
diversely composed of trans-regenerational co-arising residents
spiritually within as naturally without
sacredly peaceful below as non-violent above.

TippingPoints in-between LeftLiberal Love
and RightConserving Economically Balanced Life
wu-wei 
RightWing merely secular capital-producing incorporations
for a strong ego-defense
and LeftWing sacred incarnations
for liberating universal health-languaged EarthPassion

Leaking out of both liberal/conserving dipolar ends
recreating robust multicultural rainbows
of co-arising message maps
for wellness lights

Between ZeroZone prime co-relational territories
of Yang-strength,
atomically reductive chemistry tables,
natural ionic icons
with Yin's ergodic highway flow,
wavy and multi-linear--
toward primal 4D redundant 
communal 
healing myths--
seasons with nutritional reasons

Restoring recreatively persuasive health trends
for positive ecological relationships
cooperatively away from absence
of future's holistic nutritional wealth.

Strengthening the inductive RightBrain
embodied sacred LeftBrain ecology case
for becoming ego/eco-therapeutic peers
sharing a full WinWin mindbody 
multi-spectral 
neural-sensory deck
of non-trumpian cards
for WinWin communion players.

To the Leaders

As a Politician 
to get re-elected 
you want the world to love you
as a dictator

ruling your people 
you want your country at peace
you can attempt to use force
you can create prisons 

to locked up the people 
that argue or fight against you
yet how much better 
would it be

To rule a country that loved you
to rule a country that adored you
to rule a country that voted for you
that screamed to have you back

Use the methods 
rich people use to create wealth
teach your people to invest together
making life easier for themselves 

giving them extra income 
allowing them to live life 
out of debt
invest in building a world of fun

Walt disney invested in disneyland
creating joy for the world
your people could also invest 
in creating disney lands

creating work for your people
takes children off the streets 
reducing crime 
making parents proud

Creating a system 
where the people become investors
creates wealth for you country
taking you out of a depression

overcoming the budgets problems
as people become successful
their praise will come to you
their success builds your respect.

Premium Member Joke Was On Him


Joke was on him

A lie can perpetuate with a blinding speed
Growing on the heels of shameful greed
If enough people believe a con-man's spiel
And blindly proceed to invest in a dubious deal.

He began quite small with his Ponzi scheme
Stomping ruthlessly on gullible citizen's dream
Pretending that he was investing in stock market
Delivering promised returns regularly on target.

Becoming famous as word of high returns spread
Billions he attracted as testimonials mislead,
Paying current clients from new-client receipts
Manipulating his records to hide his deceits.

Although his company was frequently audited
No one could detect the fraud being committed.
Suspicions ran high for returns were unbelievable,
Authorities were fooled by a fraud inconceivable.

Ponzi scheme thrives on constant new cash flow
As new funds meet outflows that continue to grow, 
But it collapses in a hurry if new money stops
For clients demand refunds as the company flops.

A market-crash caused new money to dry out
Bringing to a quick end his fraudulent clout
As he confessed to a multibillion fraud scheme
When finally he realized that the joke was on him.

Investors big and small were caught by surprise
Lives that were ruined continue to agonize.
Soon he was arrested for his long tenure of crime
And sentenced to prison for his remaining lifetime.

His son committed suicide overcome by veracity
As his wife deflects shame in solitude of tenacity.
While he sits in jail for a crime of this century
Grievous losses torment lives due to his treachery.

A fraud only propagates till its ultimate demise
For truth always conquers defeating all lies.

First Place

Note: This Ponzi scheme was uncovered after the 2008 market crash. Though the fraudster never invested in the market, new money flow stopped because investors were spooked by the market decline and ensuing recession. He confessed when he couldn't make a multi-billion payment due in 2008. He was sentenced to 150 years in jail. One of his sons committed suicide, the other son died. His brother was also sentenced to jail--all worked for the firm.
