When Ungifted
"A gift is different from something you buy, possessed of meaning outside its material boundaries. You never dishonor the gift." Robin Wall Kimmerer
A social gift,
a gift for compassionate verbal
and nonverbal communication,
a healing gift,
is different from personal economic equity
derived from cash investments,
Possessed,
sometimes haunting, gifts
with sacred meaning
timelessly transcend
secular
egocentered
anthrosupremacist
monopolistic double standards,
double gifted/ungifted complex boundaries
for understanding who is in
and what is left out
Of healthy inter-religious
interdependent
creolizing polycultures
societies
nation-states
restorative justice systems
regenerative green peace networks,
Never dishonor whole-sum gifts
as tools for peace
and not weapons against
gifts
Conscripted
used
trashed as ballast
for Great Straight White Father's
unfortunately necessary
to conserve equity wars,
defend against originally sinful threats,
collateral human resource damage
of the foot soldiers
and consumer also-rans
ungifted
unpowerful
disposable
Justified despite thereby losing environmental health
and losing active hope
for resiliently gifted human peace.
It is harder for an unstraight
unwhite
unmale nonbinary child
to emerge from genderphobia
feeling sensually gifted
neurosystemically cherished
wanted as is
than it is for a deeply gifted matriarch
to sing and dance
feeling divinely graced
(and not inhumanely marketed)
in the transcendent eyes
of a God-needled gatekeeper.
A wounded gift
is different from some Thing
we try to buy
because multicultural integrity
is too high a democratic healthy price
for Patriarchal
Corporate RedRight Capitalists
to stop hoarding Earth's
Cooperative BountyCircled
multiculturally valued
polyculturally healthy
climate gifts.
A sacred Blue/Green non-binary child gift
asks something of us
not quite so RightRed dominant
mishandling
underhanding
healthier non-zero swelling sway
toward bicamerally balancing intelligence
Taoistic
Zeroistic
WinWin Game Theoretic
and Organic Systems Therapeutic
nonviolently gifted communicators,
green EarthTribe full-sensory educators,
ecofeminist theologians,
poetically prophetic ecologians,
compassionately multicultural proficient
as not not gifted Positive You
Tipping straight up
as down dipolar gift appointed
Me/SystemicWe therapeutic
co-empathic
cultural/religious
secular/sacred
individual/individuating
universal/unitarian
dipolar resonance
PolyCultural EarthJustice resilience gifts
have always 1/0 binary DNA spiraled
through YangStrength/YintegralFlow
Sun enlightening/Earth empowering,
LeftGreen/RightBlue seasoned
red sky boundary reasons
for morning mourning warning
while red sky at night
dimly follows,
sailor's gifted delight
East yintegrally dawns
on each cooperative living system
throughout Her resilient emergence
to this YangNow/YinHere
Speaking/Deep Listening
bipartisan healing opportunity
grabbed before final dusk
To reconnect
and reverse monoculturing powers
spoken in Yang v Yin competitive sexualized dissonance
transposed to sensory LeftGreen/RightRed
ultraviolet neurosensory confluence
Panentheistic
synergetic goddess senses
for regenerative religious gifts
and resonantly co-empathic
sensory-sexual win/win shifts
communed through health-systemic trust
in cooperative
pay back Earth forward thriving democracy
Built
developed
gifted
in cooperative win/win ownership
alternative economies
ecologies wherein those thriving
with the most nutritional value
in autumn's harvest Earth-gift season
are those most generously delighted
to share next spring's seeds
and nuts,
Roots
and winter's roosting eggs
as widely gifted
and deeply co-invested
as possible
To reassure each gifted Other
that our intended wealthy climate
and personal ego healthcare chances
are way win/win way
better together
than win/lose ungifted
unwanted
unlovely drifting apart
Toward Lose/Lose nihilism,
ecopolitical genocide,
militantly RedRight fascist dominant
Whole EarthSystemic ecocide.
But, at least
no one will ever force RedRight you
to reconsider queers
and transexuals
and ecofeminist women
as if, just perhaps,
also sacred gifts
Or, at least not reconsider giftedness
of anyone you know was,
or is...
You know...
that OTHER wounded
ungifted
ungraced
curiously displaced
In MotherEarth's healthy
regenerating gifted
Wealthy Life is Love Revival,
woke up co-passionate thrival.
