Short Degenerative Poems

Once while suffering from writer’s curse,
a man’s symptoms grew steadily worse.
He first lost his rhyming,
next, meter and timing,
and succumbed to AI for bad verse....

The most surprising word was degenerative.

My, how the years and decades have flown,

and now the speculation on how long to live

has hit with tornado force fully blown.

We ponder if heaven lets us reap what we’ve sewn.

There is only integrity
of time's potential,
regenerative
more life enlightening
than degenerative,
death darkening,
disintegration
entropic,
absence of integrity.

There is only health
of Earth's potential,
regenerative wealth
more empowering 
than impoverishing, punishing
diseased,
uneased,
absence of ease,
nonviolent spirited peace
restoring spiraling natured justice....

Oh Bible Junkie
Proceed with caution
The needle sinking deep
Remind yourself
Or hire someone
To point out
Combustible
Degenerative verses
With euphoric illusions
Those that lead
The flock, yourself
To turning
Heavenly tricks
For ecumenical devotions
Remain cognizant
Remain real to thyself
Thy kingdom will come
But only by answering
The call
To those, to which
You're grounded.

The dopamine seductress
Invigorating your animal instinct
Revitalizing your susceptibility to pleasure
and inclination towards familiarity
 
It is the most diabolical influence
Acting with no regard for psychological longevity
Torturing the pathways into surrendering
to an influx of degenerative saturation
 
Fulfillment falters
and self actualization settles prematurely
As the mind disintegrates
before it reaches the point of becoming whole...

While I do not doubt
God has chosen to use imperfect people
as powerful leaders
throughout history,

I also do not doubt
imperfect people have chosen to use god
to justify narcissistic 
degenerative 
supremacist
predative purposes
throughout history,

And I also do not doubt
God has not chosen to use 
many imperfect people
unqualified for effective public office
for furthering a healthy 
democratic 
multicultural
non-violently communioned
global history....

WinLose competitions
evolving
can only emerge from prior ecopolitics
of predominately cooperative relations
transactions.

Prior cooperatively evolving WinWin dominance
is ecologically necessary
and logically implied
to derive anything like
WinLose capital-building economies.

The opposite is not also true.
WinWin cooperations
evolve only as further emergence
from prior cooperative ecopolitical relations,
more resonantly resolving
than WinLose degenerative unraveling....
