Premium Member Self Regard

It would be a shame
to go on and on and then out
longing for grace
of some imagined historically significant life missed,
or simply more entertaining and health wealthy lives
laughingly not chosen,
to instead choose to belong in slow learner loyal grace
of this love life limply lived place

I could have chosen to hurt hurting people
by delightfully deliberately applauding the U.S.
as RedBlooded Earth's manifest supreme land
of patriarchal self-infested opportunity.

But we might instead agree
this is also a matriarchal land of love liberty,
one of a few scattered seed-invested places,
warm inviting wombs
of opportunity for health incubation
with concomitant risks of nationalistic pathology.

It would be my unpatriotic shame
to exit Matriarchal EarthSoul
without fully belonging in graced opportunities
wealth-lived risks
of predestined integrity.


Premium Member Invitations Are Out

The invitations are already out
for our local community dialogue
without need to shout or pout
about another straight white male monologue.

In fact,
as fiction,
we have taken a nearly unprecedented step
of inviting straight white males
over the maturing age of thirty
to show up in droves
to listen,
and not to speak.

Yes, 
you have heard this invitation clearly
discriminating not against Business As Usual
but for Busyness as Listening.

Once we have our multicultural plan in place
for this local health racing space,
we may invite our silent witnesses
to share with us what they
and we, perhaps,
have learned
about wisdom voices of non-elites
fully empowered
while elite over-voiced macro/microphones
remain reverently on mute.

Premium Member Blackest Fragile Friday

Black Friday,
iconic of Climate Fragility,
is designed to transition retail
from red
to black
end of year balance sheets.

Black Friday
is black
good
wealthy
robust
from a competitive corporate perspective.

What feels too seldom noticed,
This capital-acquisition game
is played with ZeroSum win/lose assumptions:

Retail corporations
are more likely to go richly black
as consumer households,
especially marginally surviving households,
urban apartheid neighborhoods,
rural failing family farms,
reach into shallowing pockets
to risk red indebted shortfall,
unhoused lack of holds.

To align our ecopolitical color scheme,
black incorporated economic privilege
is fed by red consumer fragility
as white political privilege
feeds on black and brown
and cooperative rainbow fragility.

One of the ways
we can remember this color scheme,
no paranoid pun intended,
is through a song,

Red and yellow,
black and white,
these are diversely precious
in His Straight White corporate sight

ReIncarnated Capital-Infested God
loves all consumers
of the ZeroSum WinLose
global market world.

This version suffers
from unlyrical challenges,
yet it still has a Black Friday ring
to cash re-registering around us.

The title of this song escapes me.
Was it
He's Got the Whole World in His Corporation
or Shop Til We Drop?

The voracious squirrels must think we're nuts,
especially on Black Friday.

Premium Member Builders

Their pounded wind
called our neighborhood.

We were children
who entered their work
like a hearth.

Electric wisk, whine,
sawdusted the cool summer
uder our trees.

From banded boards
basking in dirt
to skeletal hints
at form.

Their whistles were
crisp greenery out of
trees and earth.

They tooled and straddled
their working days,
leaving their plywood,
their drywall chalk
for our pictures.

In the last light of the trees,
we robbed scrap from their
silent structure.

And they were ghosts
still working after hours.

Our tree fort,
ropes, nails chewing deeply
into bark
was worship.

A monument to them.

Premium Member Earth Empowers Life

Earth empowers life
by further expressing
natural well-being
cooperatively articulating 
spiritually positive
(so not traumatically negative) 
emotions

Of SunMuse sacred
sanguine songs
panentheistically felt anticipation,
communally confirmed,
transubstantiating health needs
therapeutic wants
more than trauma confrontational management.

I can feel
and hear musical Beauty,

As also musing
sometimes amusing 
bipartisan Truth

In Earth developing
neurosensory ecological history,
multi-enculturing theological mystery
of a procreative 
systematic
organic
symphonic Tree.


Time To Stand Up For Human Rights

It's time,
For you to stand in line,
And take a stand this time,
While there is still time,
For human rights to define. 

It is all to easy to define,
The rights of those who think they deserve to shine,
Brighter than those others who are in a different line,
For all time.

But I say that makes us all less fine, 
And being human will be in decline,
As those who see an imaginary sign,
That says it is their time,
To hate, take revenge, spread fear and make a dollar while there is still time,
If the majority fail to understand we are are running out of time,
To keep humans from decline.

It won't be easy but now is the only time,
We can prevent bandwagons appearing each side of the line,
In every country, every street corner, set up by those who define,
Rights for others, as something they want to redefine,
In favor of something they can control for all time.

If you want to call yourself a woman or a man, for me that is fine,
But only in a world that is free of imposters stringing a line,
Who work for criminals or think being a predator is fine,
Should you have automatic right to take away the rights for all time,
Of those who think their birth is what for them can define,
What side of the line,
They feel comfortable with for all time.

Rest assured if you are genuine, and you give us time,
And you too stand in line for Human rights this time,
So those who seek to make life for all less fine,
Can not be given a sign that, now  is the time,
To hate, to spread fear, and make a dollar while there is time,
Because the many both sides of the line decline to stand in line,
Then and only then will fear be stopped from reaching the line,
And then, and only then will you and I in time,
See peace both sides of the line,
And give us as humans a chance to come out of decline,
Before the doomsday clock strikes twelve and we run out of time,
And how we define ourselves will appear on page nine
In the galactic news "once upon a time',
There were humans who could not themselves define, 
Which resulted in their rapid decline.

There is still time,
For human rights to define,
And not give any sign, on or off line,
To those who don't seek peace either side of the line,
Before we have to put more lives on the line,
To prevent the decline of us all in a very short time.

Premium Member A United Nation

I long to live in a world where love and peace 
reign.
Where all will know true freedom no matter 
what.
Where homelessness cease to exist, all over
the land.
Where folk embrace their fellow man to become 
a united force.

Where folk that share different views meet in the 
middle,
So they could sit down eye to eye and reach a  
common goal.

Where folk will show kindness to others no matter 
their race, gender, age, political affiliation, or
religion.
Where folk can see each other as their brother from 
another mother. 

We must remove the stumbling blocks of discord
so healing can take place
And realize we're a broken people, cry out to God 
as well fall on our face.

Premium Member Manifest Destiny Earth First!

Something’s missing in my lifetime. 

I’m a big believer in Space Exploration 
Especially when everyone is on board 
But before we start, Manifest Destiny Mars 
I’m thinking, as a US born citizen, 
Now, the year of 2025, that it is about time 
To think a little bolder and closer to home 
Earth first! 

It’s been a while since a star 
Has been added to the American Flag
None so far in my lifetime 
It’s time a Referendum be made 
Signed into action by an incoming President 
Inviting any nation (especially Democratic) 
To JOIN the United States! 
Welcoming them to becoming the next state of the Union
The next star! 
With all the rights and freedoms of the US Constitution
With all the privileges of being a US citizen 

Expand our arms around the globe! 
MEGA  MEGA  Make Earth Great Again! 
All US territories, now states.  More stars! 
Become a state and no more tariffs! More stars! 
Become a state and join the most powerful 
Growing technologically advanced country in the world 
More stars! 
Was once an enemy but now a friend, JOIN us and be a star!
I see more and more stars in the near future. 
I see hundreds in the distance. 
A thousand points of Light. 

Hug the globe like a child, Citizen
Set the world free, it’s in our nature. Our destiny 
Perhaps just call it fate, or our highest Calling 
To always come to the rescue 
When disaster strikes 
Earthling lives matter! 
Free all the people everywhere! 
Stars are circling my head
I'm getting dizzy with hope
Feeding the hungry and housing the poor is much easier  
When statehood is accomplished. Another star. 
And when a nation is freed from tyranny 
And US soldiers die and bleed for stars ...
More Red and White stripes are added then too
Perhaps there will be reasons for Rainbow stripes too
 
Manifest Destiny Earth! First!
    MEGA     MEGA 
And maybe one day, we'll all say, in one mighty voice,

                     “God Bless the United States of Aerth!” 


*Aerth is the original spelling for Earth allowing sentimentalist to hold onto our Good Ol' USA traditional initials.

Premium Member Rear View Mirror

Why does a powerful moment of passion,
of inspiration
often feel like need for immediate ego-expiration,
harvesting over-filled compassion?

Why a need to breathe in
followed by back out exhalation
to share, virally spread
a tool for relationship-building
through impassioned out-pathic communication?

Why does a moment of life lived fully,
ecologically co-relational,
often feel accompanied by an ego-death copay?
Theologically disconnected,
released,
lost,
yet ecologically reconnecting
repurposing regenerations.

Why does quality of mortal health
come at quantitative cost
of immortal self-sacrifice?

Why does faith
lived fully in multiculturing community
often derive from win/lose fragmented loss
of over-powering theological confluence,

Why does 
stagnant tolerance substitute for dynamic peace,
win/lose patience for win/win well-being,
whole heartedness?

Why do monotheistic aspirations replace catholic global consciousness,
and why does eternal damnation seem to trump timeless compassion?

Why does climate health
often feel like a reborn end
to global win/lose climates
of pathology?
Internal yin as external yang
right mind as co-passioning left brain
ecofeminist as non-patriarchal experience
green integrity as immortal red strength's potential
resonance as harmonic
interdependently polyphonic as universally polypathic
past eulogy as promised future integrity?

Why mortality 
of secularized, segregated ego
rather than immortality
of EarthTribe's sacred trans-regenerations?

Why spatial polypathic quantities, degenerating
rather than
temporal polyphonic qualities, regenerating?

Why left brain either/or dominant
rather than
right mind both/and prominent 
yang yintegrity?

Why zeroism's empty future information
rather than zeroistic fully inspired past exformation?

Why depressive ego-dying courage
rather than impressive eco-living curiosity?

Why anxious climate
world view
and not cooperative climate of anticipation
view of Earth?
