for premeditated health
and restoring nutritional wealth,

We might warmly anticipate
a more win/win democratic living Earth communion,
more like an organic gardening womb
than a lose/lose political...

So, is this personification
of political systems?
asked the organic ecologist.

Or politicization
of intimately

in his rather too long...
