Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism
Stop pretending
your sexism is natural
Stop pretending
your homophobia
is healthy heterosexuality
Stop pretending
your evangelical orthodoxy
isn't xenophobia
Stop pretending
your traumatic patriarchalism
doesn't justify
and sanctify
therapeutic womanism
Stop pretending
your monotheism
isn't,
once the veil of dualism is lifted,
predative anthro-supremacism.
Try remembering
that silent gifts,
like grace,
and redemption from hypocrisy,
are a lifetime healthcare process,
co-redemptive journey,
dance into integrity
compassion
pleasure
curiosity.

Amidst the savannah roam conniving beasts,
Their motives mask their actions all too well,
In politics, their power never ceases,
Nigeria's fate, it seems, they seek to quell.
A hyena lurks in positions high,
Schemes with a jackal, plotting their deceit,
Their hunger gnaws, they seek to multiply,
Their tally of embezzled wealth complete.
The vulture watches, waiting in the wings,
To swoop and feast on riches unearned,
While rats scuttle in the shadows, unseen,
With cunning plans that leave their nation burned.
Oh, Nigeria, blest with such diversity,
To thrive, the beasts of politics must flee.

Diversity explores
both resonant and opposing positions
with nearly predative anticipation
And such perversely curious
reverse revisioning diversity deplores
with monoculturing anxiety
quietly crossed
and boldly violated boundaries
of personal
and familial
and municipal
and EarthTribal
indigenous integrity
Sacred space expands
mindfully perceived
this Business As Traumatically Usual place
too lose/lose dark
and too win/win blind
to keep faith with dimming starlight
Celestial Glitter Rivered Ways
majestic
yet ominously silent
shunned Spirits
of ancient silvered sentient bright
Yet momentary mortal time
feels reflective light received
sufficiently reassuring
mythically alluring
for transient transportive pleasure
tenderly insufficient
for full-ripened organic measure
depleting dissonant self-disenfranchising
failure to complete
integrity's potential Paradise.
What is the main difference
between the life time of a star
and your personal trauma history?
Could it be for you,
as for me?
How long we take
to get from regenerative beginnings
in dark caved
holy
humble
BlackHole wombs
to degenerative desecrations
And more therapeutic inside/outside
resonantly peaceful
light empowering balanced ends
that snugly fit bigendered means
for cooperative kindness.
What is your main difference
between personal liberation
from inside traumatic deliberation
and outside avoiding condemnation?
At all inhibiting costs to Self
prohibitive costs to Others
disposable property costs to sacred MotherTrees
and other indigenous
sentient
residential non-taxpayers
Not to become confused
with Trumpian
"Vengeance is StraightWhiteMaleCapitalist Mine!!!"
All AnthroSupreme Mine!!!!!!!!!
which is the white privileged noise
of a NON-indigenous
parasitic
residential non-taxpayer
Who does not know the main difference
between the life time of a star
and His monotheistic personal trauma
degenerative BlackHole
reverse of predative
Great Flash FatherStar history.
For monotheists,
like Christians
and Jews
and Moslems,
robust relationships with other humans
may feel more sacred
than more troubling secular relationships
with defensive business of predative nature
like mosquitoes
out for personal profit
and voracious rabbits
in the lettuce
and rattling snakes
saying Think Again.
Yet, for polytheists
and panentheists
more organically inclusive sacred integrity
may arrive with gifts to see
and hear beyond anthro-privilege
thinking
and feeling
nondifferences
in co-arising natural solidarity
co-investing spiritual synergy
Ego centering thoughts
within eco-network feelings
for EarthTribal organic need
feeding resonant relationship
cooperatively together,
rather than further divesting
competitively apart.
Nonviolent communication skills

for restoring trauma preventing EarthJustice

Prologue in BrideVoice
Let Him kiss me
with his patriarchal
predative
straight white monotheistic mouth.
His Yang passion
is more blissful than intoxicating wine;
delicate
elegant
integral in fragrance
of his scent,
His rich capital name
is a regenerating wet
warm oil poured
spasmodically out
and that is why
WoMan loves divine Man.
Lead me in your sacred footsteps,
let us run together.
EmPowering Yang has seduced me
into his unenlightened bedroom;
Sacred Integrity will become our wombed joy
and our climatic gladness.
WoMen shall praise your co-passion
more widely
and deeply than exotic
darkly erotic wine;
How right[brain]
we feel
and fail
to co-passion left
with only Us.
We all get religion
when we succumb to intimate sacred events
of our sexual sensuality
Integrity's vast
yet intimate
love potential
Some of us also experience passions
of politically empowering economics
when we win/win cum

When reading
and singing
and dancing poetry,
enspiriting Earth's choreography,
I need not check my LeftBrain dominance
at rhetoric's RightWing healing door,
But bring PatriCapitalist Him with me
at least once more
to heal and restore
What EarthMothers wisely preach
and indigenously practice
and adore
No severance
between Earth's natural systemic Truths
and Ego's spiritual reanimation
restoring healthy EarthyBeauty
thriving
resilient abundance
By letting go
of peevishly competitive
LeftBrain dominantly domesticated
satiated
uneducated
about regenerative systemic design
And, thereby RightWing overgrown
predative
desecrating
Former sacredly healthy green climates
now more pathological
by over-petted Anthros
over-self invested,
Earth infesting pests
With voracious AnthroDivine appetities
of LeftBrain dominant parasites
preying on RightBrain prominent
EarthMother feminists
Who now lament,
"Straight White PatriCapitalists:
can't resonantly love with'em,
can't resiliently live without'em."
Holy EarthSpirit
is our seed bearer.
Our blue celestial universe
could lack nothing
In meadows of green sweetgrass
She enlightens repose.
Into living waters of recomposure
She bears then leads us;
There S/He revives Earth's compassioned soul.
She guides me
by polypaths of virtue
not forsaking Her sense-rooted story.
Though we pass through this gloom
doom river valley,
I fear no mountainous trauma;
Within me
your rooted integrity
and your well-seeded womb are here,
to hearten and enlighten us.
You prepare a wealth gardened table
between us
under the eyes of my predative
and hoarding enemies;
You anoint our capital driven values
with multicultural oil,
my catholic creolizing communion cup
brims cooperatively over.
Ah, how active hope enlightenment
and empowering love pursue us,
every day and night of Earth's living systems;
My home,
the recreation of ecowomanist
re-imaged Yahweh,
As long as Earth light power
revolves around Sun's well-blessed
EarthTribe Womb.
It feels fascinating
that horny voracious passions
dissipate in the presence of fear
of pain and suffering
and ego-defeating loss,
disability and performance anxieties,
wounds
short-term through permanent
satiated energy,
absence of active hope
for future holistic integrity.
In this time of climate degeneration
fear and cultural distancing,
frustrated leftbrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monoculturing rabidity
looks polyculturally threatening like,
sounds prejudicially like,
feels and touches sacred EarthMother like,
smells and decadently tastes like
Manic
predative energy
inflamed by unnatural sleep deprivation
festering fear-and-anger rapaciousness
Rather than restorative green restorative justice
reviving passion
for multicolored
trans-generational
testosterone+estrogen
yang+yin
polyamorous win+win
inclusive sentient integrity
Of cooperative green/blue powers,
EarthPeace compassion
Not so red dominant
states of capitalistic
monotheistic
straight white patriarchal narcissism,
worshipping a punishing God
made in His own frightened anthropocentric image.
We each and all have, I suspect,
a felt awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into fascism,
as loyalty
risks bullying.
Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending weaponized caste supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of one's State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitive polarization
predative politicization
of "self-made" capitalism
Rather than appreciating our solidarity
as anthropocentric nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty
to the Gaia Hypothesis of Win+Win integrity
of self+other governance
And no less self-identified sacred State
of Father Sun
or organic Tribe
of Mother Earth,
avoiding dissociative incontinence
whenever possible.
