You claim that we live in a just society One where law comforts the innocent And justice punishes the victim But that's not true is it? When in reality it's the opposite of that Especially when you are black For us We live in an alternate reality Where this doesn't happen Where we the innocent are falsely imprisoned...

They claimed they freed us But if chains instead of whips Was your idea of freedom We'd rather be dead At least then we wouldn't have to deal with your racism All you did was remove the sun Put is in solitary confinement Psychologically tortured us If this is your idea of an apology We'd hate to see the solution Was...

Radically erroneous monotheists have mistakenly substituted our co-infested co-operative co-invested co-empathic pantheistic HolySpirit's naturally healthy resonant EarthTribal bodhisattva powers of polyculturing communion love and peace for messianically monoculturing luster and loneliness unnaturally unhealthy irreligiously irritating dissonance degeneratively devilish and idolatrous and disrapturously ecocidal false-god demonic anthro-supremacist power Struggling to survive against Othered fundamentally erroneous monotheists....

MusEcology is like musicology except music theory is about how to write outside resiliently capturing what is felt and heard resonantly flowing first inside Using a shared polycultural (P) notation Language System.

Can you make any sense of systemic racism? No more common sensory sense than too much patriarchalism-- all leftbrain-rightwing dominance oppressing sacred Earth's polyamorous win/win systems promoting resiliently wealthy resonant polyculturing health Care given as kind received in fruitful wombs, like apple cores in transition from refuse toward rebirth Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice not associating Yang courageous energy with evil supremacist paternalism and ugly post-survivalist machismo, chronically sad and historically bad and even critically mad...

War is not my wintry answer when summer's serene peace remains a cherished question. Late autumn's year end Advent sadly anticipates late winter's grey unrelenting Lent As Christmas traumatically commercially prophesies black Good Friday before Easter mortality Painful future passion story losses, hopefully temporary, yet now recently felt with post-bimillennial stressors. A global sensory climate of anxiety and not anticipation, of unease and not health across the nation Of crumbling democratic energy fading public...
