Public Sector Predators

I have lately noticed
Win v Lose bottom-line business competitors
lead within for-profit rabidly accelerating circles
and are not thereby well prepared
to intelligently produce effective robust outcomes
in a more Win+Win democratic public resonance role,
elected or appointed
Artificial or anthropocentric.

I have further noted
general decline of original democratic public servant roles,
revolutionarily replaced by a competing public predator CEO role,
pirating political powers
to better hoard aristocratic economic royalty rewards.

This has been the stuff of history,
fall of Empires,
but also for-profit failing corporations.

It is these latter corporate failures
even beyond more vulnerably protected democratic
and inter-religious losses,
where authority of position
includes authority to continue employing others
in your business
or setting lowly employees free
to market themselves elsewhere,
for democracy enriching profit
or for self-serving quarterly producing profits
for absent short-term disinvested owners
and their equally self-serving managers
Ruthless corporate minds
without co-empathic bodies,
Caste preservationists
Religious professionals, I suppose,
rather than the old school
public servant model.

Living in a self-seeking climate of growing pathology,
where schools neither mentor nor bother to even lecture
the socially cooperative primacy of mutual caregiving,
grace of gratitude both served and received,
for civic responsibilities growing into interdependent authorities,
nor are parents necessarily skilled leaders
of mutually co-passionate Win+Win
ecopolitical skill-set development.

For these reasons,
and probably far remedially more,
it seemed right and normal,
good and proper,
that the best cooperatively judicious diplomats
of and for public policies and government procedures,
whether solely self-governing or also other-governing,
would be those with public win+win bipartisan backgrounds,
rather than private predative sector unforgiving foregrounds,
understudies of evolutionary Might Makes Reactionary Right.

Yet this model of competing ruthless command
just now appears a Commons lowering denominator
for both public and private sectors,
against more multiculturally cooperative wisdom.

It should be no more a surprise
to a U.S. President
that Presidents do not have unmitigated personal powers
of information disclosure
nor of disinformation fabrication,
of energy sharing and conserving
nor of energy hoarding for further profligate self-serving
further autonomously unmitigated powers
of revenge and competing campaign egomanias,
than surprise to a CEO
of any healthy interdependently-managed corporation
where private sector mutual service
and mutually subsidiary authorities
are co-responsibilities of all
who breathe and think maturely,
speak and listen democratically,
with cooperative heart beats
both diastatic wealthy
and systolic healthy,
both full and empty of ego/eco-viral powers,
mutually grateful
for all who live and laugh
midway between fully sacred longing is
and yet not yet organically belonging.

Public private servants,
consuming no more relational powers
than we can individually and collectively reproduce,
replace,
recycle
regenerate
reconnect
re-ligion

Because more recently
and cynically
we elect and normally appoint
Public Servants
based on their prior experience
as Private and/or Partisan Predators,
wealth and power accumulating hoarders
at their capital top
bucks stop here
in this pirate place
my allies and I have bought and sold
to defend and preserve
that we don’t public service get
what we do private sexist and racist and elitist pest
invest in.

Application forms
and ballots
all seek Win+Win caregivers,
too often counted and selected
by Win v Lose bully Presidents,
wearing Chief Executive Officer hats
rather than carrying Lead ComPassion Mentor portfolios.

Legislators and judges
educators and parents
achieve more wholesome outcomes
by remaining students of wide ecological
and deep neurological listening
than by becoming teachers
of Ayn Rand’s anthropocentric capitalist economics
for antisocial patriarchal climbers.
