Premium Member If I Were An Elephant

Oh, if I were an elephant
   I sure would march around and rant
      with loud and deep instructive roar
         demanding mostly to implore

my fellow elephants to find...
   for matriarchs and males combined,
      some ways to camouflage our prize
         and make them dull to human eyes.

Though we are dark, our tusks are white;
   stand out in leafage day and night.
      For them, we're martyred every day.
         Perhaps there is a better way?

When good men tag our floppy ears,
   they could then calm our deepest fears...
      and paint our tusks a camo green
         so through the brush cannot be seen.

the early days when everyone was alive

the beats of the hearts that coloured my world with purity

the candid memories made when All Vibes Are Positive

the perfect feeling of all seasons when joy was the ultimate trip of the day

the way the earth smiled when the matriarchs were still around

the way the world felt complete when the patriarchs were doing their job right

the laid back feeling of a full saturday that was so activitous

the smile of the endless freefall in a little kid's mind

wondering where the now long since lost pieces went to the perfect puzzle

Aging

We must dress
up ourselves
in patience and grace
when we look in
the rearview mirror
at our lives
how things used
to be…

We laugh with our friends
at the memories of
such and such, but
we must surrender
or fall apart to…
aging

In surrendering
we gain a true sense
of self and
an understanding as to
who we really are…

The frivolousness
of the past
lies behind us
in fond memories.
Onward march, we go
for there is much power in the
embodiment…
aging
ahead of us.

We must take our positions
as matriarchs and patriarchs
and as elders
because we have earned it

Premium Member The Antidenialist

Let us refer to nihilism,
     she sniffed,
     while pompously looking down her nose
as coterminous with totalitarian
and fascist nostrils,
breathing terrors
both inside paranoid
and outside victimizing
all but mutually maligning bullies,
who never bother to listen to each other anyway.

With that as our historical background
we might notice,
     Although everyone is victimized by nihilism:

1. Some victims vote for empowering denialist nihilists anyway,
believing we have not nominated any healthier choices.
When everybody sucks,
the LoseLose question becomes who sucks up least
from my intended egocentric direction?

2. Poor and marginalized people,
non-bully species and natural systems,
like rivers and forests,
matriarchs and their vulnerable hurt children,
people with color and without Elite Patriarchal credentials
inheritance
historical empowerment
cultural over-investment
are those first
longest
deepest hurt by antiEarth de-nihilism,
while more plutocratic middle class conservatives
are also victims of self and other denial,
yet more likely to vote for it
along with those wealthy enough
to stay on the bully side
of universal WinLose self-nihilism
of this potentially humanely global
democratic WinWin species.

It does not seem too difficult
     to me,
     she sniffed again,
to recognize that love and integrity
have become more regenerative empowerment
through mutual solidarity of purpose,
nor to feel this in my phylogenic bones,
nor to play WinWin integrity
rather than eco-denial WinLose Solitaire.

My righteous opposite of LoseLose nihilism--
more wealth of health enculturing
instead.

And then she threw back her head
     wrapped her shawl more tightly around her phylogenic bones
          and stalked out of the classroom,
               without so much as asking for a question.

I didn't know whether to believe what she said
or what she did
     or both,
     somehow.

Premium Member The Upper Room At Green and Grand In Brooklyn

A single blue bird perched above the rest
Not all birds of a feather flocked together;
Each mount with reverence brought comfort much closer,
Time's passages once feared, held a single test.

The test of a life time suited and disguised,
The unknown harbors lessons to be learned
Solitary souls do find their way home -
I have seen shriveled dead folks holding to life.

Freedom becomes imposter in our dreams
Of carefree years. Yet love looms much larger still;
Like skylight, and rain song, that will cure those ill -
I think of matriarchs striving to stay clean.

Spring became green and grand with its gifting
A soundless tear drop in silence of winter,
A broken voice reaching out to its Maker,
My rebirth room left light and fresh as its giving.

Premium Member Restorying Earthjustice

What was it that you said
about English law traditions
with two heads

One for protecting real property rights
of monotheistic kings
to autonomously legislate their deeds
by dogmatic decree

Unchanging entitled ownership
of land
and all commodities upon Her

Royal manifest destiny over upstarts
serfs
soldiers
and tenants,
too much consumers,
and not enough producers

Descendents of dark slaves,
another form of living property,
livestock
chattel.

Meanwhile, this other mysterious line
inherited from some Mother's polytheistic culture
which might more civilly prevail
for restoring peaceful domestic issues
about equity,
fairness,
balance between cooperative managers
ecosystemic nurturing matriarchs
marginalized by conservative elitists
royal corporate capitalists
monopolists
straight white monotheists

More court-friendly to liberal democratic lovers
EarthTribal co-investors
polyculturalists
endowed with indigenous
bicamerally balanced
ego/ecosystemic wisdom
of economic and political
co-investment
cooperative co-ownership
EarthJustice stewardship.

I'm asking because,
if it please the Royal Capital Court,
and even if it too democratically doesn't,

To autonomously own living property
is against my sovereign religious beliefs

Both immoral
and illegitimate
to lord it over plants
and people on organic cooperative lands
and in global co-invested waters
recovering our sacred MotherEartha 
planetary resonant health,
resilient past through future wealth

Advocating for and with polycultural Communion,
pleading and bargaining for health justice
and safe peace
for All EarthTribal Souls.

Premium Member Pledged Allegiance To the Sun

Wilderness edible forests,
to hungry mothers,
became wild undomesticated wastelands
to commodifying and taxing FatherLand patriarchs.

Wilderness matriarchs once Pledged Allegiance to the Sun,
and Gratitude to GrandMother Moon
for both interdependent fullness
and new womb emptiness,
grace-filled promise
of future healthy integrity,
pregnant with promising fertility.

We pledge allegiance and gratitude to our Sun,
One Icon of our First Native Nations and Wilderness Tribes,
reforesting and harvesting indivisibly synced
under and within SkyMother Earth
with liberty to not be unpatriotically bullied
to rescind each democratic individual's right
to equal liberty of mind and heart and body,
and forest wilderness ecojustice
for all GrandMother Moon's health planting
and wealth harvesting children,
Moon-matriotic matriarchs
and Sun-patriotic patriarchs.

Expressing grateful loyalty within
wilderness edible forests,
to and for hungry parents and grandparents,
becoming wildly domesticated fertile lands and waters
co-arising fire-lit atmospheric climates
to cooperatively commodify
and sacredly deify 
and co-invest Mother EarthTribe 
matriarchs rewombing 
maturing matriarchs with patriarchs,
born equally of transubstantiating Sacred SunLight,
Love,
Grace
breeding and feeding 
cooperatively owned Gratitude
of sun-drenched EarthTribes.

Could our polycultural history of sun worship
trump mere nationalistic supremacist flagships
for more sustainable healthcare 
within patriot/matriot-balancing 
multiculturing identity?

In Favor of Women

What i love
further in this life,
It's woman...
woman of any
creed, race and color...:
female,
femme.
female...
long hair
firm ideas.
woman is formidable
pure mother,
sweet girl,
beast, feline that
attacks and defends,
  as the panther in the vision
male...
Always present
always companion.
is occasionally fragile,
other times
she is adrenaline...
night female
fiesta girl... fatal
or simple
homemade...
Several types exist,
quiet homes,
bossy matrons,
family matriarchs,
mounted amazons
everything is wonderful...
other different types
are models that appear,
are pin up hanging,
women displayed...
Arrogant socialites,
dazzled
nouveau riche, and others
fighters...Joana Dàrc
of life...
the poor women,
the excluded poor,
no vote, no dowry
no right...
Awkwardly or not awkwardly
there is no other way...
want it or not
angry, not angry,
no dispute and no fight,
the woman is all nice
is the best in this life...!

Premium Member To Our Nra

To Our No Relationship Association,

I suppose we will never find
a healthy way to prove
Lovelock's Gaian Hypothesis
we have nothing left to lose
by cooperating more Win/Win
and competing less Lose/Lose.

No more or less than we could prove
our sun will reappear
to rise this next tomorrow
any more or less synergetically
than fundamental fragment-sensationally
apart.

Still, if not true
that love cooperatively empowers
more than hate competitively disempowers,
then how would we understand life becomes
more powerful than non-life's static being?

If non-life artifacts of becoming
rocks in streams
of living water
shaped of star dust
and gaseous non-relationships
instead of nothing,

How could no thing
emerge from no ballistic space?

And why would no space for belonging
submerge this flow
of universal ergodic time
yang-health forward
restoring yin-wealth
of listening in non-violent 
co-passionate DNA communion,
historic past?

If DNA were not divine,
why would we sense epic interweavings
of yang strong hydrogen
coveting yin flows of helium?
Muscular webbed
co-passioning walls
and wells of co-identity


Yangs and yins
patriarchs and matriarchs
healthy strength reproducing wealthy listening flows

Still,
I see your pointed rifle.
I suppose we will never find
a healthy way to wealthy prove
and disprove
unprove
reprove
pre-approve
Lovelock's Gaian Synergetic Hypothesis
we have no right integrity
left to lose.

Premium Member A Disagreement

Marco Rubio
reminds
marchers against automated gun violence,
their pilgrimage views
oppose
what many TrueBlue Americans
support
as Second Amendment Rights.

Why hide
your own NRA Red supported agenda
You cannot politically
and economically afford
to be found 
in this wrong?

So let's explore
with colonial ForeFathers
their Original Democratic Health Intent:
How sure are you
they
and their wives
and mothers
grandmothers 
and children
would have supported
your right
to have a military-grade assault rifle
in your self-defensive closet
and in those of all your neighbors
and your most feared racist
fascist
rabid
AmericaFirst monocultural
public competition schooled
enemies?

How sure are you
that these students
and their parents
and their grandparents
marching against automated violence
actually oppose
your right to domestic self-defense
as originally intended
by patriots of polycultural democracy
and matriarchs of domestic family health?

Why is it,
do you think,
so many Second Amendment protected Americans
are marching
on and in and toward
state and national and international
cities
to remind you

They too are Americans
with proud and loyal Second Amendment
and First Amendment,
on around through all Amendment
rights to Sacred Unity,
Public and Private Health Welfare,
Left and RightMind and Body Happiness

They too are USA domestic residents
and tax payers
who believe the Second Amendment
is not whatever and however the NRA
competitively 
and toxically define
and refine
and exegete it

So much as
whatever and however Original Health-Intending Democrats
cooperatively refine
and systematically define
domestic self-with-other defense
of WinWin
freedom from assault repression,
terrorizing depression,
racist and sexist suppression

Freedom for MotherEarth
wise economic
and political expression.
