Hyperbole hubris
Venal penal
Avarice abyss
Bucolic tonic?
Ironic…sardonic
Or
Vitriolic bliss mate!
Mendacious salacious
Algorithm schism
Audacious outrageous
Vicarious or nefarious
Whatever geography
Clever hagiography
Moderate.. no berate
Generate..venerate hate
Casting various sordid spells
Schadenfreude morbid void
Everlasting..well..it sells well (swell)
But
Despotism urges Nepotism
Surges of Plutocracy
Merges with scourges of Kleptocracy
Purges meritocracy...dirges of Democracy
So
Resist narcissists trysts
Reminisces.. enlighten..persists
Sagacious benevolent gracious times
Redolent without malicious vicious
Murky mucky malevolent mists
The whole world demeanor wild and chaotic,
From one creature to another,
Rivals, a definition of our hearts,
Dirty competition, our goal.
Plutocracy, a depiction of our societies.
Oh God! Where is your universe heading to?
If we all be such heartless?
Isn't the young generation observing us?
If yes, won't they insert this seed of impurity in the next generations?
Yes, I don't repudiate having a shepherd leading a flock,
But why not there respect for one another?
You won't stress the sheep because you are prestigious.
You'll eat it when fatty but not small due to stress.
Here comes a suggestion,
Let leaders be dutiful to everyone, no more segregation.
Rich people now respect the poor,
Married ones esteem singles,
Parents regard your children.
Coz tables can turn when you'll need the one you hurt.
BY TURYAGUMANAWE MATHIAS
Mediocracy
Along the simple path we plod
Bureaucracy
With a maze of obstacles to trod
Autocracy
Also trying to dodge the hit squads
Theocracy
Steering clear, of banned lesser gods
Plutocracy
Ride on through, wielding big fat wads
Democracy
A minefield of all above, behind the facade
04/12/23
Competitive capitalism
is about dominance,
which increases separation,
space between Winner haves,
and Loser have-nots
Degenerating into polarized views
more culturally dominant
than old-school cooperative middle
in-between
socio-economic median disappearances
Away from civically active democratic imagination,
focus,
functionally experiential frames
favoring cooperative democracy
over capital plutocracy.
Democracy is about win/win bicameral consensus
which grows integrity
between co-investing Haves
and HaveNots,
depolarizes our EitherHave/OrNotHave
eco-politically valued lives
Mediating in-between re-membering,
reweaving multigenerational cooperative
matriarchal empowering history
of mutually enlightening democratic health care
Through cooperative ownership
stewardship
citizenship
home and meal management
integrity of co-responsive thought and feelings,
polycultural communication
and multicultural energy systems
Refracting integral re-MEMEory
left-hemisphere empowering
right-hemisphere energetic win/win
neurological waves of win/lose healing
win/win co-investing light.
A system of checks and balances
Is the fulcrum of democracy
Governments write many checks
But their budgets never balance
~ So how about plutocracy
Tears on Mother Liberty
Plutocracy the society they created through the Trump towers, now they regret it Like Iraq having no democracy.
Theocracy seems Like the answer for now, for evil has ruined what was once a great nation, Living all hopeless and faithless.
God bless America!
Down your tools, raise your fists and continue the dream of Martin Luther King bring shame to the fiend debilitating our society.
No more shooting, instead put the blame on Putin and realize BLACKLIVESMATTER.
We can't kill each other or else the assassination of John. F. Kennedy is not an abomination, recreation these kids seizing on opiates therefore we need purple rain through the Prince of peace.
The circus in the White House like Clinton, soldier on like Hilary and let the heart of Obama infect us all with Love for one another whether you black, white, Latino or whatever we are America!
Clanks,
blanks,
cranks,
clash!
Slams in tank,
detours irate!
Ingenious infiltrates,
sojourns knocking,
indignation on the plank,
plutocracy dank!
Dotards are prate,
iridescence is just as late-
prime meridian,
songs obsidian,
and the incandescence great!
Songs of resistance
are love songs.
Anthems sung together from churches
and temples
to town squares
and capital sold-out markets.
Sounds of acquiescence
are cowering silence
suffered alone
through long and lonely nights
of fear and anger.
Great lovers
prefer to sing
in full harmonies
and resonant octaves
of sound
and loving light,
whether resisting
persisting
or assisting
escorting
affirming love's compassioned notes.
We sing
when climbing up jacob's ladder
together.
When climbing down
we feel alone,
are silent
and live in sorrow
for love life's absence.
Silent majorities and minorities
reassure bullies
and defenders of plutocracy.
Resistance songs
are love medicine
fear-mongerers fear,
yet need the most.
I just read that U.S. Democrats stand in solidarity
against Trump,
but what else?
What is democracy for?
First,
democracy, rather than republican plutocracy,
here confuses collaboration against our competitive opponents
with solidarity,
which must be for both ourselves and our appositional tensions.
Second,
democracy trusts empathy
rather than mistrusting antipathy
much less active distrusting pathology
so democracy stands in solidarity
with polypathic regenerativity,
with wealth optimization as health maximization.
So,
please,
if our parties and cooperatively-owned
and managed
and cared for
healthy workplaces
wear the label of "we are pro-democracy"
then rest assured that being for healthy polycultural evolution
and against degenerative monoculturing competitions
is a humanitarian platform
not limited to gathering votes from 50% of the humane-natural population,
but capable of drawing every vote
from every mind and body of age
to become pro-health for all Earth's species,
including this less upper-caste privileged variety
of democratically polyamorous party animal.
Peppa Pig started a Secret Club revolution.
When Poppa Pig asked her what she was up to,
she violated her Secret rule
because she could have no politically fun Club
if her Secret began and ended only within.
Poppa Pig resonantly responded
as did Peppa's entire family
and their extending outward friends of friends,
they had each secretly longed to belong
within some Secret Club
for self-and-other empowering recreation
just among their Secret ruling selves.
Peppa's dilemma, however,
after everyone knew her Secret admission word,
was in what sense could they sustain their Secret Club
with only this one, now shared, Secret
accessible as youtube.
Yet, forced to choose priorities,
she, as fore-shadowing Yintegrity
is polypathically inclined to flow,
instinctively saw and knew
a universally uniting
Best Unkept Secret Club
With one democratic Secret
integrating love
as abundantly happy as a pig
in muddled public puddles
transparently
and vulnerably belonging
inside her peacefully organic,
not so sacredly exclusive,
piggy Club.
Not that I'm such a great fan,
but I was just now taken by surprise
to read the Republican Nominee for U.S. CEO
has somehow raised questions about his mental health.
Really!?
I live in the U.S.
I have questioned the mental health of any candidate
for elected office
hoping to live with resilient mental health
within the partisan walls of public aggressive congression
This question has been on my mind
for about as long as I could spell Washenton and Clumbian.
This question has evolved more recently.
Now I ask if this candidate presents
more bipolar passive-aggressive
or full-out ecocidal psychotic-rabid?
Usually we get systemic RightWing trauma
here in the U.S.,
which could be why we continue with more of an angry red plutocracy of wealth
than a cool green democracy
of, by, and for, cooperative residents of mental health.
Niggas still pledging allegiance 2 the same ****, slavery lives no longer in that
old physical sense, now these crackers whipping us with a mental whip,
controlled with material sips, most sell their souls until their thirst is quenched,
the devil, Satan is he or she a Justifiable Religious Myth, a plutocracy, a
government ran by the rich, finally a Black president, a pleasurable, memorable
but minute accomplishment, while the true President wealth, has him ranked
#1 on the Forbes list, we too focus on being rich, but 2 blind 2 see this ****
mental ignorance, Niggas still pledging allegiance 2 the same old ****,
controlled with material sips, mental whips, slavery lives no longer in that old
physical sense, physically we’re free, but mentally break the law, then you lose
your freedom physically, free your mind mentally.
Free your mind so we can
No longer be Niggas
I pledge allegiance-n-pray
God frees all my Niggas
Spiritually
Mentally
-n-
Physically
Nigga don’t mean
Color it means mind frame
Whatever color you are
AFTER THE CONCERT
Before was sober expectation -
The scuttlebutt
The learned dissertation
How the boxes, parquet did settle, did flow
Plush with plutocracy
While those on high held thoughtful gaze below
Bother not with concert raving,
Stage attire and shading
As per always was the performance amazing!
Let’s mil about after the show –
The careful exit,
The lingering afterglow
How the music like whispering mist
Has tinted sensitive faces
Has harmoniously kissed
And bathed dreary sense with light
How, long after cocktails, snacks and chat
One, yet charmed, fondly hugs the spouse goodnight
Angel wings
dominated -
drinking
delirious
contempt
prostitute plutocracy
posterity predicament
