Long Suppressive Poems

I was listening to Cornell West,
who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,
situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,
disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also like random violence, 
abuse and neglect,
lack of caring,
as a "conspiracy"...

It interests me to peer past the drafting
and rewriting shoulder
of Thomas Jefferson,
unhappy slave-owner,
and John Adams,
with domestic slave-owner nuisance issues,
and other principle writing minds 
of original democratic declaration and constitution shaping times,
as they listened to their...

Students conservative of body-health care
invest as necessary
in bowing and submitting subservience
to orthodox heterosexual vampirate mentors,
fundamentalist badnews evangelicals
sucking on pre-meditated rapture
of Heavenly bloodsucking EarthNatures.

To meet conservative RightWing
LeftBrain patriarchal 
student membership classroom requirements
of monoculturing monopolistic
indoor health-safety classrooms,

Imagine
if you would be so kind,
join me
in striving to become 
less blind

Brilliant God says:
Give to your oppressively militarized government
weaponized suppressive
defensively repressive
straight white monotheistic privilege
paid for in tax advantages

And so
it was nationalistically done

Every fall
all co-invested residents...

Let's talk today about Trumpism.

If this is a new word,
how is it different and the same as
Fascism?

Who is a Trumpian
more than a Republican?
Or do these two labels
show the same angry face
about a Crippled America
to you?

I...

In feminist political analysis,
when not stuck
in all day systemic paralysis,

Every win/win
v win/lose 
v lose/lose energetic trend,
synergetic person,
integral narrative,

Each interdependent development
and apartheid decay,

All seasonal health
and unreasonably greedy
fractured wealth,

Exhales multi-paradigmatic power
non-autocratic,
more neuro-sensory automatic,
and inhales enlightening Ways
for cooperative...

Before restoring outside perfection,
perpetual pleasures
of prosperous peace

I remain responsible,
compulsively responsive,
habitually receptive
to repairing inside win/lose
past competitive aggressions,
negatively suppressive 
non-communications

My most resilient repentance
includes self-forgiveness
for over-stressed addictions
to trauma repressors,
for failing to do my best
on a bad day

I usually...

Tried to take a picture, but the world wouldn’t sit still
and I don’t have the breath for a thousand words.
Fantasizing what I have to say, knowing I never will -
subordinate to suppressive hands like a...

Truthfully,
and kinda depressing,
I can't "manage" anger
any better than fear
and contagious distrust
and nearly constant anxiety
and chronic depression.

In nonviolent communication practice circles,
peace networks,
organic therapeutic systems,
"curiosity" slowly grows ascendent
as "patience" to resist negative feelings
and "impatience" with shameless Others
and...

I believe,
rooted in limited personal experience
of unconditional love,
the purpose of democratic governance
is NOT FREEDOM of autonomously empowered persons,
segregated communities,
self-isolating economic states,
severed biosystemic regions,
patriotic partisan nation-states,
isolated continents.

I believe
mundane purposes
evince our deepest sacred meaning
for divine governance
is not...

Addictive The Butterfly

Stains and needles, an addiction shown,
Eternal my pain, this addiction grown.

In my blood, into this, and my veins,
I'll spill it all, the admirable stains,
See my hate, see my emotions, see my pain,
You may...

When I was in an interfaith seminary
I noticed three models
for understanding a faith community's purpose
in a democratic and diverse society.

1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger

To compete with,
and thereby degenerate the powers of,
sin and evil and ignorance
in...

Can you truly love a rock,
you've never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like ego-centrism,
or a steel wall?

If so, then how is your love
different from a more unilateral "appreciate you"?

If not, then what...

Emotions numb,   I've come undone   a long time ago.
In a trance,  this is a second chance   it's all I know
I've got to make it this time,  keep...

Shapes of cotton wool clinging to each other
Shutting out the sun with its white and grey cover
The air becomes thick as clouds start to darken for rain
Thunder rumbles faintly at first the flash, then thunder...

when
scientology has 
deemed you an
enemy for being
antisocial, for 
being a POTENTIAL

getting in the way
of the 
BRIDGE TO TOTAL

a suppressive person (SP),
you bring the whole 
bloody cult down, don’t

Look upon her blackness 
And be filled with delight 
Her blackness
A beacon among the insipid faces 
around her
Proudly she walks
Proudly she sways 
with unsurpassed conviction 
A sensuous black lily
Swaying in the wind
The daughter of Africa...

August has clutched us by the throats and given us a shake.
Anything outside this month needs no oven to bake.
She is straight out of Mars, warlike and suppressive for sure.
Her heat index is outrageous, her...

These dark streets, filled with shades
What little light enters soon fades
Cool and damp like the deepest cave
So musty it is like an earthy grave

The air is suppressive to one and all
Filled by songs designed to...
