PeaceFull MusEcology

Radically erroneous monotheists
have mistakenly substituted
our co-infested
co-operative
co-invested
co-empathic pantheistic HolySpirit's
naturally healthy 
resonant EarthTribal bodhisattva powers 
of polyculturing communion love and peace

for messianically monoculturing luster
and loneliness

unnaturally unhealthy
irreligiously irritating dissonance

degeneratively devilish
and idolatrous
and disrapturously ecocidal

false-god demonic
anthro-supremacist power

Struggling to survive
against Othered 
fundamentally erroneous monotheists.

A singular Drop; That's All There Was

I gaze upon an opaque silver sky,
Descending dewdrops, developing above the mustache maw.
Ascending the nape to taste cherubim cry,
Permeating petrichor, pervade the nasal in auspicious awe.

Palpable pain of tactile taps
Kissing canker sores and rainstorm rush.
Radically rampaging, for its rapid relapse
Rain, it's infinite, swirling fervor flush

To drown by an inundated impound,
A vehement, vicious, void that immersed,
Wandering weakly on the ocean gored ground,
Drowning, isolated lungs; bellowing burst.

The tyrant tsunami my miracle world-wide flood,
Exploding existence, imploding insistence, ichor pools; blackened blood.

My Own Undoing

My Own Undoing 

Coursing through an unknown milky way ???. Well, that's my fate. Were we not born to succeed? 
This and many more should be answered, blatantly, if not unequivocally.
I am me, and you, should be you.
How far do we go to establish a point of un-duress? We should be cunning, as well as kind with our "Knowing" (Knowledge).
So let's be fortunate in radically Undoing our own
Thank you.

Amazing Gretta

Dearest Gretta,
 The world stands amazed at your powerful voice
at such an early age..
The call to action, the dire global truth, so eloquently
shared by one in her youth..
During you're sabbatical, the powerful petition
you made to world leaders to confront carbon emissions..
Holding them accountable for their promises of change.
You also met with scientists to discuss an acceptable range..
Waking people up to this stark reality that our daily
consumer habits need to be altered radically.
When purchasing food we must be attentive to what we buy.
Did it arrive here by boat or the more carbon costly sky?
Global warming is not distant, not fifty years away.
It's urgent and it's now and we must all act today!!

Memories of the Fab Four

These guys were a revelation
changing radically the musical crop
great memories of really great songs
Paul, John, George, and Ringo were tops

Liverpool never saw the likes before
starting with just simply LOVE ME DO
hitting the charts was a regular thing
yea three times over to SHE LOVES YOU

Just so great was the Mersey sound
FROM ME TO YOU was always passed around
romance was always in melody
even on a DAY TRIPPER go for a pound

Your first date is always special
as you say I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
this brings a real feeling in your heart
calling I FEEL FINE forever to stand

It's really been A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
so difficult finding no pain
but it's HELLO, GOODBYE on your way
as you walk down PENNY LANE

No matter your riches you CAN'T BUY ME LOVE
go get that TICKET TO RIDE and LET IT BE
so GET BACK to where you once belonged
HEY JUDE don't make it bad just better you see

(This is my memories of the great Liverpool group The Beatles and using my favourite songs of theirs to bring back the memories.)

Tao Game Theory

This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue 
of practicing RightBody patience 

Is a coverup 
for feeling deep impatience.  

Feeling impatient is not as hopeful 
as exploring active curiosity. 

Curiosity 
about why someone, 
including my own anthro-privileged self, 
would default to live win/lose 
competitively 

When our healthiest, 
and safest 
economically enlightened 
and politically empowering experiences 
have always grown choices to live 
liberally
radically
integrally
EarthTribally
sacredly
neurosystemically
ecologically
more fully win/win, 
cooperatively co-invested.

Passionate curiosity might kill the occasional cat; 
but probably not more deadly 
than dispassionate lack of curiosity.  

Besides, 
passionate curiosity can also be more fun
than boring impatience

More joyful, 
than sad
mad
bad 

More curiously glad
even appropriately win/win consenting adult/adult lusty

More sad/glad soulful 
preferring mindful disciplines 
like healthy therapeutic dances 
and well-sung 
resiliently brilliant love songs.

The Saddest Truth of Love and Its Deep Darker Side

The Saddest Truth Of Love And Its Deep Darker Side

Love too often acts so radically says life
Forbiddenly, it holds emotional cut scars
Cut with an on loan, long diamond edge butcher's knife
It wages battles aplenty, wrecks destructive wars
It climbs trees, soars into the high heavens above
That sadder truth I know, its darkness is jet black
Some laud its beauty amidst this world's push and shove
Yet under its spell, good sense they often do lack.

Warnings and consequences rarely do matter
But intelligence hides the truth of this sad world
Once its fever drives you mad as the Mad Hatter
Into a passion filled stupor you are hurled

Addicted your heart and soul are its new play thing
Out you go to buy her a fancy diamond ring.

Robert J. Lindley, Dark Sonnet
April, 23rd, 1971

Baby Steps

When people talk about traveling to the past they worry about radically 
changing the present by doing something small.  But rarely do they think about doing something small, to radically change the future. 


Baby steps are important because they are much more achievable 
then giant mountains or far away stars that cannot be touched
Short term goals are comforting to an individual 
when the long term goal is still in progress, but out of reach 
A sprint runner at a short distance race
has more powerful glutes, calves and quads to propel them forward 
and gives them more time to build stamina, before the big marathon
Leave a tempting trail, activate cruise control, hold a hand 
Wear comfy shoes and just start walking 
When people think about the future, they think its already set 
but it can be interchangeable, with one single step ahead. 
Be progressive and advance onwards one baby step at a time 
sooner than later your future will align,  
and you will get there when, its your time to shine.

Pray For the Birds

Pray for the birds,
Racing to survive the harshness of mother nature,
All in a desperate fight,
Yielding to relish the essence of life,

Forging emaciate energy,
Oh survival is hard,
Radically hard with time,

Time withers,
Hath time not withered?
Effortless it hath,

Bring thy hands together and pray for the birds,
I rest not,thou rest not and pray for the birds,
Racing to survive the harshness of mother nature,
Duly they fight,
Satisfy them.

Immanent Transcendence

Internal immanent powers
of panentheism
are nearly as traditionally endemic
to Western religious teachings
as is external transcendent light
of monotheism.

In scripture,
in Prince of Peace spiritual experience
and promise of Jesus's teaching
rests prophecy of pentacostal panentheism

A radically liberating experience
of divinely manifest
Holonic Spirit
restoring peace
and global
inter-religious
multicultural
polycultural
resonantly polyphonic
resiliently polypathic 
humanely divine
truthfully beautiful
peace-filling justice.

Army Man

The crushing sound bashing in my head
The boy I see, dreaming to be an army man
Only fears and tears of knowing that it can’t be
 My boy, wake up and see reality!

Only death, comes in a world of Putin and Xi. 
The hammer for war, is swinging full speed
Internally, the states are at war with their views of red and blue. 
Democracy vs the GOP
The radically racist, authoritarian views and belief under the hood of church 
Are at the core of tearing down our democracy 
The wolves in sheep clothing undermine our values of our way of life
Yet you follow them as sheep do 

My boy, wake up to see the real reality 
I do not want you to be an army man

Silence

SILENCE

 springing
to life
truth
not on
the wane

figurative elements
 emerge
  as an outspoken
renaissance

simple
egalitarian
radically different
 to the
patriarchal
equality
so existential



defiance
a recurring theme
an
encounter with
 notions of
being inferior
in a bid
to understand
attitudes &
 obsession with
 self-portrait

an
acquired
approach
to identity
&
artistic
 triumph
on reflection


NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Change

A change is not a change at all,
If not accompanied by stiff resistance.                         
A radically different new idea, if not opposed…
Its lacunae and dangers go unnoticed.
Every change has to face a litmus test,
If it has to benefit all mankind.

Yahweh's Zephyr

Christian poets are like the winds of God's spirit 
that waft through these airways whispering wisdom.

announce bold convictions
declare essential faith
gladly herald, introduce
Jesus - King - Lord
maligned?  
nullify,  openly proclaim
questioned?  
radically speak truth
utter vocal worship xenially
Yahweh’s zephyr!


*xenially means hospitably or
in a friendly manner

Isaiah Remixed

Gaia is radically interdependent Earth,
CoCreator of paradise
and pandemics,
of safe drinking water
and healthy fertile soil,

S/He does not faint
or grow weary;
His Yang Heaven raining
manna understanding
is also wellness watering
Her Yintegral Earth
rebirthing
inscrutably dense compassionate soil.

S/He gives cooperatively owned power
to those poor
in humane natural Spirit,
and transparently enlightened strength
to those uncompetitively powerless

Victims immigrating
in this Great UnRaveling Exodus
from high risk inhumane enslavement
to royal profits,

Prophets now trending toward traumatic
right wing rabid distortion,
trumpeting EarthTribe overtures
to understated extinction.
