God,
like Heaven and Earth,
could only be universally transcendent
creative energy
If also unitarian immanent
recreative integrity.
This may appear to be a glitch
to those who believe
we have a manifest divine destiny
to grow
grow
grow and multiply
without concurrent responsibility
to harmony within one shared web of life,
integrity strength with resilient flow.
Contrary to popular capitalistic opinion,
violence,
and threat thereof,
is not a win/lose zero-sum option,
Like slavery
and racism
and colonization,
power-overing is a much more toxic
lose/lose
vicious-encircling
lack of win/win
compassion-optioned choice-making.
Risky,
like choosing clothing-optional strategies
for vulnerable transparency
But,
without the sunburn
and danger of staring,
scaring small children.
