Premium Member Late Night 'n Youthful Futility

  
     Those of a religious inclination 
       tell me that ‘this world’ is pure illusion
     That ‘Truth’ resides in the Heavenly Station
       though it is they who dwell deep in the grips of delusion

     You see, Truth is based on individual perception
       which differs from one wo/man to their fellow
     Of this they seem to have zero conception
        at least by the way they bellow – 

     that I deny the existence of objectivity
        which, while true, is nothing new
     Philosophers from time immemorial speak of subjectivity 
        If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it – on this they chew 

     Whew! Here I am in my advanced senility
        reverting to long-ago ~ late-night discussions of youthful futility

Iain McGilchrist,
neurological psychologist,
builds on previous findings of Edward De Bono
and Julian Jaynes.
Human nature is bicamerally structured
for cerebral and appositional specialization,
inclusive and sacred empathies from Elder Right matriarchal,
with deductive-reductive linguistic natural laws
and patriarchal orders from Left hemisphere dominant enculturation.

This Left dominant hemispheric and global overshoot
has brought us to buying and selling military-industrialized colonization
with appropriate tools
to get deductive-reductive killing and maiming jobs done,
as necessary for justice in self-justifying wars
through metaphysical Win-Lose
Either-Or cognitive-emotive assumptions,
retributive justice.

As if punishment were a monopoly of social justice
rather than a rather poor suboptimization
of restorative therapeutic justice,
also both natural and spiritual
but for restoring health,
inclusive therapy of victims with our predative,
colonizing,
fear and anger-mongering,
commodifying of Earth's greatest sacred grace,
gifts of clean air,
pure water,
sacred healing fire-circles of WinWin intent,
healthy MotherLand fertility
of forests and virgin oceans
now horribly RightBrain lost,
depressed,
dissonant,
irrational pathologies
of too many bad boys
with sharp law and order enforcing toys,
and word choices,
and lack of more nurturing WinWin diplomatic options.

Fears and fake-divine idolatries
of HellFire and Jihad JustWar BrimStones
to punish those who dare defy
a Great Patriarchal YangGod of Victimization
rather than inviting available cooperative bicameral adjustments
of ego- with eco-conciousness,
to include Elder Sacred MotherEarth
born of Grandfather SunGod Radiant Powers.

Gaia hypotheses of Sacred RightYin
with EcoLogical PolyPaths of SecularLeft Yang,
co-arising nondual dipolar,
bicamerally dynamic ecopolitical prime relationship
of Yang +1Earth and Her Balancing EcoSystems
with YinSquared (-,-)0-Soul Theorem
equivalent to speed of reverting 4D light,
co-arising as also having co-gravitated
universal unity of space as also bilateral flow of time,
YangHere SecularLeft reweaving YinNow SacredRight,
breathing YangLeft here in,
breathing YinRight now out,
here in,
now out,
up,
down,
up and in YangLeft,
down and out YinRight...

Premium Member Ecology of Revolution

I remember
a young child in Sunday School
wondering what Jesus meant
when he said,
I have come out

into Earth's narrative
to turn Her repentance upside down.

How could this be true,
when he also taught that those who receive more
will get more,
and vice versa;
less worthy grace 
for less valued face.

This didn't sound right,
yet it did seem reviving,
Like something to hope for
even though Jesus didn't really get the job done,
or at least not here
where I was
and not now
when I am.

It has taken a lifetime
of wondering about that curious and courageous,
audacious and admonishing claim
to realize Earth's nutritional narrative
isn't about turning planets
or people
or plants 
or even energy and health systems
upside down,

But is all about returning Earth evolutions inside out,
back forth
reverse forward,
principles for reverting revival revolutions.

For example,
Indigenous wisdom originally understood
we are here as one people,
one sacred empowered Tribe
to serve the health needs
and wealth wants
of EarthMother.

Just as Western patriarchal capitalism misunderstands
Earth is here
as our anthropocentric commodity,
one secular planet
to excavate
exploit
extract
rape
enslave
colonize
market
discount
clearance sale
to sever Her health needs
from our capital-hoarding wealth wants
before She inevitably dies.

What Jesus calls upside down
and inside out,
Laotse's listeners call
a Principle of Reversion
back to when Yin induced Yang
so Yang would compassionately deduce Yintegrity
for humane wealth Truth
serving Earth's health-revolutionary Beauty,

With many more cooperative 
economically thriving outcomes
than leftbrain dominant 
competitive 
political survivalist incomes.

Premium Member To the Utmost Darling I Love You-

Often I held you 
In my arms I expelled 
You your breath so lively 
Your touch inside me
As I wait to inhale you
Pleasant pressures virtue
Honorably I acknowledge knowingly I never hurt you
This cause, because of my virtue

I am absolutely I'll revert to the truth
I will hang on and never let loose
For darling I love you to the utmost

Always and together
We will come we will come and praise God together
Our hearts minds and soul
Intertwined and in a row
Your heart's so lively beating as such
As I embrace you you're warmth your touch
Ever so mean so every much
This calls because of our virtue

I am an absolute because of our virtue reverting to our truths
Together we both shall hang on and never unloose
My, my, my, my, my darling I love you to the utmost

Cancer Alzheimer's Park

The cancer in my head

Patently obviously 

Is ever so slowly

Taking over

Me

Day bye day

So here's to you

Al Parkinson

My imaginary childhood friend

Who as a single child

I could truly count on

And kept me company

Way back then

For kindly taking the time to revisit

Me once again

As you are the only one

Through all and everything

I have been put through and endured 

Has never once left me on my own

Stayed ever present at my side 

Till this very present moment 

Where we find ourselves now 

Quivering trembling in fear

And as old as you are now in terms of age

Reverting deeply back to whence upon 

You were a child yourself 

Trapped seemingly unable to escape

The confinement of inside your head

Praying endlessly for nothing less or more

Than when someone

Most
Especially

A close loved one enquires

Can you remember

Do you in fact know 

Who you are 

Or I am


Premium Member Xenophobia

A bsurd and foolish it might be
B ut it’s my nature, you’ll agree;
C annot ignore what I go through
D espite the help I get from you. 
E ach time a stranger comes in sight
F ragile emotions turn to fright
G et me excited at one glance
H opelessly standing in a trance. 
I ndeed I tremble, break in sweat
J ittery feelings that I get 
K nocking together both my knees
L ord, I go thinking, save me please!
M aybe the problem can be solved
N eeding a pro to get involved
O ut of the groove I have to move
P erhaps in time I will improve. 
Q uestions and answers are at hand
R eally I want to understand
S ome of the things that haunt my mind
T he doubts that I have to unwind.
U nless I act before it’s late
V enom of thought will seal my fate.
W ish that the phobia will now end
X eno reverting to a friend.  
Y earning to welcome all mankind
Z ealous to foster peace of mind.

Premium Member Because He Gets Me

Because He Gets Me 

I still love him in
spite of,not
because of-- He is
the rare one, who
even though his
arrogance at times
over shadows his
maturity; 

He is still 
the one who
gives believable
credibility to my
written soul - I
know he gets my
every word
intellectually and
spiritually.

His own wisdom which
mirrors my soul's
expressions,speaks.
I was so drawn to
his intellect and so
impressed by his
depth...that his
moments of shallowness 
almost tilted me over.

I still love him in
spite of his temper
tantrums, and his
reverting back to
his childish,selfish
jealousy; 

I love him
even when he tries
so hard to invent
ways not to love me.
All because he is
wanting to hold on
to me for hours..

when I only have
seconds to give. So
you see, I cannot
hate him for loving
me.

Premium Member Mom's Economics 840

Listen my children 
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride
speeding greed will steer.

Just as our cooperative economy
is fueled by gratitude,
our competitive WinLose economy
is fueled by greed.

Other parallel points of contrast
ecologically and logically follow
in their own sweet and sour time.

Cooperative industry,
business
tribes
governments
systems and networks
enjoy organically limited slow-growth
in comparison
to capitalism and elitism and egotism
fast-growth
toward insufficiency of Earth's carrying capacity,
and Yang-dominant WinLose evolutionary enculturation
of Yang-Yin divisive survival stories--
Mom and Dad never could get along--
secularly supplanting sacred
Yin/Yang health/wealth thrival stories
of slow Paradise
revolving seasonally appropriate deep-ecological development,
listening to both redevelopment Left
and reverting-reverse-time decompositional analysis Right
of restoring nutritional-slow
and toxic-fast
health trends.

Further,
and don't fall asleep yet,
we're just getting to the best part,
slow grown cooperatives toward abundance
are dominated by matriarchal/patriarchal integrity stories
more than fast-paced
overshooting patriarchal Westerns with shot gun dissonance,
the chaos of believing and teaching
that justice is what comes out of the end of a rifle association,
incommensurability of values
across economically healthy corporations
     as also ecologically wealthy organic-flowing incorporations,
both born of FatherSun
     deductive LeftBrain enlightenment
and MotherEarth
     inductive RightBrain polyphonic feelings
          of color and sound
          music and dance
               in octave-fractal
               slow-growth marches
                    toward salt marshes
                         predicting oceans
                         of YangLight
                         slow-breeding Yin-tides of revolution.

Matriarchy,
where what is embedded deepest
is also ethically and aesthetically highest
                                                     richest
                                                          healthiest.

Listen my children 
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride
speeding greed will *****.

And everyone died alone unhappily ever after
as before.

Thoughts On Turning 32

(just an 
exaggeration 
of 
negativity 
lyrically, so 
dont come 
scolding 
me):) ;)

They 
might 
wish me a 
'HAPPY 
BIRTHDAY'
or even 
'many 
happy 
returns 
of the day
My folks 
send me 
gifts and 
greeting 
Congratulating 
me
on a life 
that's 
fleeting?
Yeah, so I 
happen to 
be
pessimistic 
on this at 
times
who sees 
life as an 
hourglass
One who 
sees the 
glass half 
empty
rather 
than half 
full
For I 
vision 
each 
birthday
as a step 
closer to 
old age
A step 
closer to 
dreaded 
death
Isn't it 
hard to 
look 
forward
to going 
gaga and 
decrepit?
When 
smooth 
skin would 
end 
up 
crumpled, 
wrinkled
Thus each 
birthday 
to me
is a step 
closer to 
the end of 
a 
lifetime
A step 
closer to 
that 
unwanted 
guest- 
senility
The 
reverting 
to child-
like 
inability, 
debility
The 
dwindling 
of all 
agility
The age of 
doddering 
limbs 
half in the 
grave
So I'd 
rather not 
celebrate
the 
nearing of 
the time 
when 
we'd 
playback 
em' flash-
backs
and in the 
mind re-
live our 
life 
tracks.
When 
everything 
would 
trickle 
down to 
mere 
memories
With 
ample time 
to linger 
upon 
life's 
souvenirs.

So a 
birthday is 
a step 
forward
but 
towards 
thy 
graveyard
The road 
to it may 
be longer
or 
unfortunately
may end 
abruptly
in a short 
cut
to heaven 
or to hell
bard or no 
bard!

Premium Member Electron Herders

Electron herders, 
that's us. It began
earnestly late 20th century.
The first organic computers
using polymerase and qubits
came later. Weaponry
via numbers, words
magically appearing, 
telepathy. Measurements
in which the last significant digit
is the Other. However
immediately depleted
our resources were, 
antibiotics were always at the ready.
Forgetting what we knew, 
reverting to austerity
because in times of prosperity
we forgot to be austere.
It's the uncertainty principle
taken to the nth degree
where the bad god resides, 
Zeus, passionate, confused, obtuse.
Yes, we are electron herders
matter gatherers and shapers
of our time. Cancerous
cysts, irrational exuberance, 
collective experience, experiments
gone well or wrong, 
we were trying all along
to last forever. Flood and fire
saw to that.
Prospero was our answer
who threw his book
into the sea and wanted to be
mortal, meditative.
Find himself. We found
the world without the self
cornus to oxalis
orbitals and calculus
waves and particles
equally likely to be
within us as without us.
