Avoiding Daddy Voiding Contests

It is good to know what we resist,
but my best way of knowing
is by self and other showing
what we together
would more health wealthily
assist.

You might assume 
the only way to effectively resist patriarchalism
is to fight.

Turns out,
fighting may be the surest way
to already have lost the battle,
and to continue losing
an ecofeminist war.

You might think the only possible way to win
is if all other players lose,
but what, then,
have we the OnePercent gained
toward healthy resilience
and safe peace on Earth?

You might assume the only way to gain power
is to compete
with surpassing strength 
for economic and political victory.
I might guess another way to empower
is to cooperate
for healthier
sustainable flow-with 
empowering enlightenment
more resonant in compassionate relationships
than suspiciously lacking robust 
interdependent 
communication networks.

As for patriarchalism,
probably far more erectile dysfunction
is the result of intentional economic neglect
than vindictive political abuse
and threats of war-mongering.

Experiential peace and beauty
and truth and trust messages
trying to break through LeftHemispheres 
fascinated,
sometimes mystified,
by enigmatic 
elliptical
sacred words,
scriptures,
messages
deep pre-historic passion feelings

Preferring win/win climate health Paradise
over win/lose ego/ecologically pathological risks,
chronically dissonant cognitive minds
at war with affective body issue 
nerve tissues
bipolar stressed

As processed by Either/Or LeftHemisphere 
dominantly StraightWhite monocultural
patriarchal not-listening
jumping to deduction
reductions
not able to hear inductive WholeEarth
interdependent EarthMother ReCreation,
over the sound and constant lights
of fossil-fueled degenerating 
militantly industrialized
colonizing 
bad karma energy

Instead,
our co-investments
in cooperative wealth systems
restore multicultural EarthJustice
AND
restory Earth's green peace
ecofeminist narrative

In which
we too often assume 
the only way to effectively resist patriarchalism
is to fight.
