Answer my call to arms you patriots all
and rise up with blunt collateral force -
rage against the culture wars that we stall
the Neo-Left tyranny at its source.
Oppose their marxist ideological plot
and let not the herbal tea nazis prevail -
remember back that which old sense forgot
and arm our true selves that we not fail.
Return fire on who rephrase and revise -
Rage! Rage! And be politically direct.
On these psycho wingnuts upon them rise,
rise up till no longer are we “Correct”.
Burn their Trojan Horse and stand our walls
that the soldiers of satan seek to tear down -
resist lest all that we know and built falls
and norms become the new battleground.
Speak the truth these lentil eaters betray,
rail against the nose ring cultus of lunacy,
and be not a pawn to what fools obey
with their spin and New Age orthodoxy.
Return fire on who rephrase and revise -
Rage! Rage! And be politically direct.
On these psycho wingnuts upon them rise,
rise up till no longer are we “Correct”.

Interesting
that Christian theologians
have traditionally agreed
God is unchanging
Because steadfast in love,
loyal in omnipresence,
faithful to omnipotent powers,
all with regenerative intent.
Yet Eastern philosophers
look at these same healthy
safe
empowering traits of Earth's complex
cooperative
regenerate nature,
and see,
and/or hear,
organically sense,
this universal enlightenment
unveils a metaphysical reality
of sacredly relentless Change.
God is as unchanging
as transient thoughts
and feelings of complex compassion,
responding to Nature's strength
through flexibility,
unconstant evolution
through constant revolutions of Earth
and all Her interdependent Tribes,
Forms,
Functions,
Flow.
Western patriarchal
capitalistic concern
about a changing God of love
and retributive justice
and unEarthly peace
in a rapturous Heavenly future
may include issues of confusion,
miscommunication
between Nature's complex cooperative Relationality,
and secular Theories of Relativity.
If everything is relative
to everything else,
then morality,
health,
safety of unchanging natural
and spiritual principles
become shifty,
unreliable,
unpredictable,
potentially dissonant,
evil,
degenerative,
pathological,
dissociative,
terrifying,
terrible
more than terrifically co-relational,
cooperative,
loving,
uniting through mutual flexibility
more than uniform
through unchanging orthodoxy.
But, Eastern nondualistic theory
is rooted in multicultural nonviolent experience
of fluid Relationality,
compassionate cooperativity
of constant win/win healthy natural change
which does not suggest nihilistic chaos
of space v time
or mass v energy
Instead,
constant nuanced regenerative relationship
of time-cubed equals 3D space proportionality,
Zero polyphonic energy
regenerating One
polypathic co-relational Universe
Naturally within
and spiritually surrounding
Earth's constant/correlative
enlightening co-empowerment.
In psychology and communications theory
We notice experiences of cognitive/affective dissonance--
What an anthropologist might note
as a cultural legacy of cognitive blindness--
epically unfortunate events
And a health therapist
might not notice as a pathological orthodoxy
preventing mere health objects of history
from acting and voting
in our own greatest subjective wealth of multicultures
promoting IdentityHealth resiliently-responsible self-interests.

Orthodox feelings
favoring affective matriarchal change
and cooperative integrity re-acclimations of GoodFaith Circles

Compel multicultural objectives
to continue cooperatively unfolding

Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism
Stop pretending
your sexism is natural
Stop pretending
your homophobia
is healthy heterosexuality
Stop pretending
your evangelical orthodoxy
isn't xenophobia
Stop pretending
your traumatic patriarchalism
doesn't justify
and sanctify
therapeutic womanism
Stop pretending
your monotheism
isn't,
once the veil of dualism is lifted,
predative anthro-supremacism.
Try remembering
that silent gifts,
like grace,
and redemption from hypocrisy,
are a lifetime healthcare process,
co-redemptive journey,
dance into integrity
compassion
pleasure
curiosity.
The effort to turn back the clock,
Has gained some momentum recently.
Where those in judgement, decided against
Women, and their reproductive rights, indecently.
Now some may think that's enough . . . but nooo,
There is much more for the high court to review.
With a stated desire to look at same-sex marriage,
Even contraception, for a Christian nation to renew.
I'm afraid that this nation under God, is
Awfully fundamental to the rest of society.
While the church beckons its beliefs,
Harvesting all sorts of animus towards piety.
This cult-like orthodoxy has become twisted,
To the secular mainstream that's seen today.
Yet this minority has succeeded against a
Majority, leaving me to ask, What does that say?
Because this nation, under God, must include
Whatever God those choose to believe.
Since without that, God is diminished, and
Where freedom and tolerance are left to the naive.
Two hundred fifty years, is not so long
When measured by how far this country’s gone.
A perfect orthodoxy it has never been,
Yet the work of perfecting it won’t end.
Its greatness lives in what we choose to keep,
Led by grace and peace, not fires of greed.
Where truth is heard, not drowned by lies,
And common sense is not deaf or blind.
This is what keeps a nation free:
To know its full history, to truly see,
To understand, relate, and appreciate,
So knowledge leads us not to hate.
Look around and recognize the years,
The progress earned through hope and tears.
Of all the nations ever brought to birth,
America stands the greatest on this earth!
A country,
They like to take it,
But democracy is not sufficient here,
This magic paradoxically does not help fox Herod,
But help to resist,
A big part of the population comes from a tradition of Christian orthodoxy,
Fathers' vineyard of unity,
Therefore king Ahab goes to Jezebel the queen,
On the throne, lodge Masonic,
She chooses two worst witnesses,
Two tendencies in society, the state, and the people,
Nationalist idolatry and the corruption of money and bodies,
A bad leader,
Pianist and comic,
Jacquouille the visitor (from the french movie),
In the place of Jesus,
The tragedy,
Say Prophet Elijah, now from the Apocalypse,
When the beast rises from the bottomless pit,
The house of Ahab with little children,
Fire kisses the buildings of this business,
Multiplied by the number of my applause and cheer,
The mirror under star of Christmas,
Nevertheless intercept the evil,
May the tragedy return from its origins,
Lord Love without third cheek,
Go like a thief,
The mirror of justice,
The former antique borders by Christian Councils,
Like a body without obvious tumor and malignancy,
What who sin —
In the same way, return the sickness, illness and disease,
Multiplied by six and six...

Behind the mirror is where we all
Tend to lurk,
Suffering through the pain of glass.
No one likes change,
Sometimes it is almost viewed as a sin.
Then you are punished
For attaining a higher majesty,
An alliance nearly gone.
But the times they were a changing
Folk had to realise,
A new power was being born
The climate just right for change.,
To plug in to the new.
After all a mirror image
Is the same,
But I suppose it is how
You look that matters,
Not what you see.
It was the orthodoxy
Of one Man that changed,
Someone who dared to be different.
It is some what ironic
That he said adieu,
With an acoustic version of
“It’s all over now , baby blue.”
But then,
The rest is history.
In some integral green ways,

In a corner of the world, under an ink-colored sky, where the earth breathes of old and longing,
Lies the country once called Romania, under the shadow of a silent and ruthless siege,
The cloud of darkness slowly descends, a siege as old as the name it bears,
An art of siege that knows no end, stretching its arms across all planes of life.
We fight on unseen fronts, in a holy war waged in silence and deep within our souls,
With shadows that envelop gender, family, faith, the invisible war of waters and pure air,
We fight against the broken sound of the world, with food that poisons and history that fades into mist,
What can Georgescu do, you ask, when the masses do not know there is war and peace is just a forgotten dream?
When the monarch lays siege relentlessly, and no one knows, no one wants to know of the wounds,
Orthodoxy is the shield and the sword, the light that pierces the dense and cold darkness of the world,
It is the only way of escape from the siege that seeks to swallow us, to lose us without hope,
But how do we raise this shield, how do we withstand when all populations fall?
The holy war is not about extremism or nationalism, nor about feigned patriotism,
It is about the silent and sacred fight on all planes of daily life, day and night,
From hygiene to defense, from food to soul, Orthodoxy is the order of the heavenly realms,
It is the shield that protects us from the satanic siege, either Orthodoxy, or death, there is no other way.
So reread, my friend, reread, for there is no other way than this ancient path,
Orthodoxy at bayonet, the silent fight in a world that seems to forget, to lose what is sacred,
And yet, under the ink-colored sky, hope rises, a light in the heart of those who believe,
For a better, more just world, in a world that knows the siege cannot defeat faith.
