Wrong Premises

I find it not right
nor sustainably left,
snapped the poet,
that sainted soldiers claimed healthy transitions 
toward divinely rapturous peace
to promote principles of death 
by deliberate
degenerate design.

I could not reasonably interpret good news
win-God/win-humanity scripture stories
designed for win/lose inhumane
unredeemed 
heroic fight makes Earth all zero-balanced right
patriotic players.

Neither philosophers
nor politicians
nor parasites
nor predators
could legitimately inscribe
and thereby capture and commodify 
Natural Law
to justify killing each
Eco-Other

which, unreasoning, 
feels distinctly unnatural
and betrays principled cause/effect order,

neither promoting liberty toward healthy naturality
nor security from too wealthy 
self-satisfied non-spirituality

for individuals
families
communities
residuals
tribes
transgenderals
cultures
nations
generals
species of natural ordered pasts,
spirited futures,
co-presently remembered,
designed by healthy recombinant 
transubstantiating
meta-morphic intent.

Nor is it OK for real-world multicultural experience
to whisper God's sacred transcendent 
omnipotent mercy
to support 
and reason 
and negotiate for just wars
against this actual everyday private humanity
of one interdependently public 
transparently vulnerable messianic body,
a cooperatively-owned sacrificial servant 
for Earth's more polyculturally robust life,
not monocultural 
Death

which feels like sacrilege against any divine Creator's
regenerative potential 
and/or original intent,
omnipotent resilience,
omniscient resonance,
omnipresent restorative justice
justifying win/win/win/win...
Peace

which cannot be reasonably used
to justify deliberate dissonant degenerativity,
nor to sanctify desecration.
