That be cold sun rose yonder, our heads be hot, I'd declare,
I'll get Whitey my critter, worked all night, best she nicker.

We thrive finding freedom
to speak out
to dance around 
and sacred shout
to sing full-stop gospel
turn'em out

of dominant evolution
and protagonist predation theories,
desecrating aparta-schisms,
jingoistic decultured 
shameful jisms

Having His MonoTheistic elitist
StraightWhite Capital-Headed Way

Extracting all polycultural Truth

will roll their eyes and look ashamed,
thinking the cowboy is uncivilized,

Lights are lit, the banners sway
By the walls barrels...

I rode a star to catch a cloud, 
which told me, how the sky was made.

each note, danced it into place.

From one lone star, there...

The crop has been harvested, the moon has turned red. 
All our chores are now finished, the cows have been fed.

Earth's soul, Her soil
His fuel, Her Sun
His blood, Her baptismal water
Her SkyGod fills each copulating breath
upon Her bilateral lightwhite/dualdark skin
of self-regenerating ecoconsciousness,
where God's super-eco logic

now-present primal balance
nutritional stream for EarthTribe CoIdentity,

I like full moon giving wrong ideas at the right times
Feel salty air, sun kissed hair, in this endless summer".

Distinct songs fill the electrical air
Chords of varying tones dance around the guests

Bagpipes play melodic tones rich and smooth
Mystical rhythms and beats all of its own
Feet tapping as the music takes...

Some poems are lively like Macarena, fast hokey-pokey or watusi.
Others make you laugh like the Texas two-step, or hokey pokey, so cutesy.
Detailed poets can creative a missive that cha-cha-chas or jitterbugs.
Big rule followers maybe cringe...

Dancing together
But, to a different beat
To a much different song
I dance with you 
Because I want to feel your
Magical ambiance
The chemistry I feel in your presence
Hypnotizes me
Your song has a faster melody
Acquiring a myriad of...
