Jesus Messiah As Climate Bodhisattva

To my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme UnitingWealthyStates
sustainable legal/moral Savior

I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.

In strong conserving defense of...

Ecopolitics of Time

Fr. Time is with us today, again, 
or still bilateral, 
I guess I should before
and after say.

No, you just did
how I will play.  
You would be redundant, 
to say it again, 
like I just...

Bicameral Gratitude

OK class, now listen up and down,
in and out,
said Professor Fuller Watts,
professing political philosophy 404.

We begin with a deductive
reductive
universal objective lesson,
then spread out across inductive intuition
unitarian inside/outside formation 
and self/other-governing intelligence
through co-mediating mind/body gratitude.

I will...

Annulment Coming Up

ChristLike RePublicans

So, Doc,
I have this huge black looming doubt
it is possible
in my disUniting State
to remain both Christian and Republican.

Really? Because...

Well,
because "Christ-like RePublican"
begins to sound like an oxymoronic hybrid
for self-dissonant identity,
encouraging those who bear this cross,
as I...

Dear Nationalist Republicans

I'm worried
you have over valued
your favorite deceptively entertaining 
disformed
dis-eased commodity,

DisInformation's strategic value
and disvalue
and misvalue
depreciatively revaluated
against long-term resonant
and resilient democratic constitutional
win/win eco-political wealth
of USA patriotic empowerment
for resilient health and safety ecosystems

Not Nationalist Republican

or acutely
or ecologically
or therapeutically...

but I'm so tired of Losing wars
when Earth's climate needs to...

Down a long rainbow coloured country lane

Are a  creative colourful bunch

Land Filled With

Plague of lies,
froggy croaks untrue
Swarm of flies

Infectious hope buzz kill:
Leftover piles of shill legislative bills
that don’t do  do right

There should be no nose mystery,
stink of deceit fills the land

God Trauma v Tree Therapy

Why do you do as you do
and not do as you don't say?

Mine's Bigger Than Yours

When Trump Tweets

(Played to the tune, “When Sly Calls,”
by Michael Franks)

When Trump tweets,
Mo’ scowls furrow

When Trump tweets,
the scandals grow

As rumors shake,
idle sits the Boss
Bankrupt morality
is the grifter cost

When Trump tweets,
the rubles spin

When Trump tweets,
the dictators win

Decorum falls,
indecency...
