Powers of Enlightenment
I've noticed our Republic's
RightWing Tree of Life
reacts to root-systemic problems
as if oak strong branches
lifted to majestic worshiping heights
of crowning supremacy
need not be concerned
with watering
and feeding democratic roots
of nutrition
nursing organic trust
and nurturing empowerment.
Such behavior feels less intelligent
than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth
More like a gang
of Bully Putin Pulpits
and capital addicted Trumpian Puppets
with upset expansive stomachs,
boundlessly hungry eyes
and private parts,
and irritatingly irreligious deaf ears
Trying to feed
from entitled top,
trickling down to lowly
leftover
humiliated bottoms,
what we must primally breed
and seed
from deep down
communing inside
Roots musing down
and communicating in
to feed organic communion up
and sacred community out
Conserving healthy democratic root systems
resonantly nurturing
resiliently liberating crowns
both/and
win/win
organic/sacred
root/crown
empowering/enlightening communion.
Not quite so angry
with enfeebled branched-out leaders
and not mad
with anemically sad cooperation
and bad co-investment skills
for resolving which top bully,
devouring all challenger bullies,
will next be crowned King
of trauma-riddled Republican triumph
Trumped-up singing:
It's my party
and you'll cry
when I want you to.
Meanwhile
democratic grassroot systemic wisdom
burns and blows
drowns and starves
Degenerating patriarchal migraines
and not regenerating grains
of deep rooted integrity
to feel multicultural health
trust
truth
beauty
wisdom
compassion
kindness
courageous polycultural curiosity
about interweaving wisdom
of inter-religious root systems.
Liberating resonant crowns
and conserving resilient roots,
bipartisan integrity of a wealthy
healthy
EarthMothered Tree.
Or so it seems to me
noticing our disunited Republic's
troubled Tree of CrownHeavy Life
reacting against healthy multicultural democracy
Deaf
to wilderness voices of dying forests
polar caps
coral reefs
oceans
glaciers
rivers
topsoil
EarthMother's unenlightened crown of thorns
and disempowering trunk of sorrows,
man-privileged monotheistic
irreligiously and monoculturally wrong
ecocidally desecrating
root-systemic trauma.
