Avoiding Daddy Voiding Contests

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

Preferring win/win climate health Paradise
over win/lose ego/ecologically pathological risks,

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

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.

Money Nerves

Not wanting to make anyone nervous,
pandemics can be unsettling enough
without economic and political surprises,
inconvenient systemic insights,
more expansive circles of empathy
positively impressing
more than negative deep
steep hierarchies
practicing neglectful shallow sympathy
for Others
on distant pagan shores.

These government checks
that come and go in the mail
or by direct deposit
between you and the IRS,
these speak up for

“From each according to her/his financial ability;
to each according to his/her immediate need”

Which sounds suspiciously Karl Marxian
and that Engels white labor-activist guy

Than speaking empowerment efficacy of
and up
and for more competitive evolutionary
Capitalistic Voices
fossil-fueling financial systemic choices

“From each consumer and taxpayer
as much as possible;
to each producer and legal resident
as little as possible
in return.”

These pandemic support checks
are public welfare investments
in our cooperatively held economic
and healthy democratic wellbeing future,
and healthy wealth of future multicultural
generations

With resilient ability to pay back
and long-term financial need
to cooperatively thrive
more than competitively survive

Economic investment values
usually attributed to scary words like
“Socialism”
and “Social Engineering”
but also speak of cooperative win/win
long-term healthcare thinking
more than BusinessAsUsual
competitive win/lose scheming,
nightmarish climate pathology
escapist dreaming.

When these twelve
and six
and fourteen hundred dollar checks come
from our federated governing system,
this is closer to Cooperativist Economic Behavior

Than to Communism,
where the State owns all the assets
and capacity to produce cash at will
and redistribute monetized wealth
not based on earnings
but on the number of human mouths to feed
and water
and keep relatively comfortable with sufficient healthy food
soil
clean water
non-toxic air,
reasonably non-traumatic
unruly
and highly erratic fire
and weather
and rabidly depopulating epidemics…

So, when your fourteen hundred dollar check
peacefully arrives in your checking account
or in snail mail,
please remember,
with personal gratitude and political respect for integrity,
this is sacred GreenCommunion
at our cooperative federated best;
social democracy of an extended kinship kind.

You and I have no further reason to worship
at the monocultural altar of unfettered Capitalism,

A system patriarchally designed for predators
against their unprivileged prey,
without becoming uncomfortably aware
of our cooperatively unmeasured hypocrisy.
about unpatriotically not supporting
multicultural EarthTribe democracy.

Love Us

When the StraightWhite Patriarchal President
sent out his Praise and Thanks Message
“We love you”
to those who would cathartically enjoy beheading
VicePresident St. Peter’s Pence
hates homophobic St. Paul,

This felt like too much tolerating
an unconstitutional intolerable
absence of basic civil respect,

Inspired by a left-brain dominant
bottom-line economic
and politically fascist preference
for direct militant vengeful
Action

Over endless parliamentary procedurally deadly debate
about who is rightfully in SuperCharged White
Might is Right
supreme patriarchal power.

How does this same Valentine Iconic message sound
directed toward the same Insurgency of Untouchables
when issued by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s ghost
teacher and activist healer
through non-violent communication
only

Perhaps another instance of compassion’s word choices
leading to theologically unreasonable GoldenRule positions
tolerating intolerable
Western Corporate Patriarchal Aggressors,
BusinessAsUsual
rapists of MotherEarth
and other drunken sensory diversions,
depressions,
bipolar oppressions,
chronic stressed out cognitive
v. affective non-verbal dominantly
monoculturally miseducated
lack of true wealth is health
enculturation

What happens if “We Love You”
speaks from brown-skinned Obama Oval Office
to these same We Are Save the Steal Here/Now Messiahs
impassioned insurgents of Intolerable Violence
speaking WhitePower against all Other
and acting outwardly
from our inside fragile Strength!
(in klanish interdependent numbers)

Then what would you,
and what might they
have intolerably concluded
about the wisdom of shunning
long-term left-brain violent
intolerant survivalist ZeroSum
SeizeTheDay behavior,
take no hostages,
or maybe one or two…

Before right-brain
ecofeminist self/other EarthMother
and SacredSource
speaks up like Thunder
and ends with pathological climate Winds
of intolerable fires,
hurricanes,
flooding waves of untouchable thirst
and intolerable starvation,
homelessness and deprivation
of Earth’s Here/Now great
not quite so White privileged
grandchildren

Living together through silent natural springs
of spiritual acceptance,
active empathic “I Love Us”
rather than mere sympathy for your loss
“We Love You”
(even you useless weak losers).

Non-verbally
non-violently pro-active sacred curiosity,
interdependent faithfulness
courage to trust in cooperative integrity,
to compassionately communicate
Win/Win Messages to heartlessly violent
Win/Lose UnTouchables.

All that said
and set Prince Valiantly aside,

“You are doing your patriotic duty
to stop this steal
back to a healthier cooperative solidarity
in uniting EarthDemocratic Trust”

To swim back against evolution’s regenerative
natural/spiritual stream of healthy eco-political consciousness

Co-empathic with all love relationships
once aspiring to cooperatively become
a healthier sacred egalitarian
economic and politically active
(yet not empire-building reactive)
green communion.

Healthy democratic LoveMessages
invite more of a compassionate response

Win/Win thriving communion
of ecosystemically healthy communities
for well-being EarthUnity,
healthy prosperity
of all co-empathic non-predators,
at least not Here
and not RightWing
WestWing
Now

This overpowering “patriotic duty”
to think and feel intolerable
untouchable misunderstanding
of long-term ecofeminist political win/win
nonviolent communication analysis

Of healthcare regenerative memories
of a nation,
a planet,
a person

A few of whom re-emerge from StraightWhite patriarchal
miseducational lack of organic holistic healthy resilient
systems

Education that Enlightens
and invites empowering civics education discussion circles
which might have better served 43 co-dependent Senators

In a recent full-Southern purifying sweep
still hoping for a Revival
of perpetual disunion,
self-Righteous intolerance,
untouchable fear
of white-skinned eco-political Failure
to polyculturally
healthy Thrive

Throughout this polyglot
of Love You messages;
useful to whom
for what empowering/enlightening

Momentous ReTrainStitions

Icons are funny things,
she thought.

Heaven feels like a warm light circle
when we are thriving
and more like a cold dark triangle
of weaponed tipping points
against me

when we are barely surviving
above the mortally terrifying bottom
of God’s most worthless non-elite.

Ancient right-brained heaven

Sacred Falling Stars

Once upon a time a gymnast teacher told a girl,
and all her classmates,
to gather around the trampoline
to spot the student currently bouncing on the trampoline.
They circled around
to volunteer a ring of imperfect
but positively intended
desire to help,
should the witnessed bounce go horribly
accidentally wrong.

This same request for a spot was one familiar to this same girl,
and these same classmates,
when they were bench pressing at the gym,
not because the teacher asked,
but because the fully abled weight lifter asked
if they could work out together,
and spotting each other during the bench press
was simply Standard ReAssurance Operating Procedure
for humane care givers
and receivers.

Anyway,
the unfortunate girl bounced sideways when one of her knees gave out
and she came flying directly toward our spotter
who did her very best to get out of the way,
to go to the other side of the street,
to walk on by,
to pull out her cellphone camera
to get it all delightfully recorded
for the more proper punishing authorities.

The teacher was
(1) concerned for the wounded
splattered girl on the matted
and yet still not inviting
floor, and
(2) furious with the spotter turned distant recorder.
When the classroom administrator asked, “Why?”
the girl said her father told her not touch others
at risk of injury
on their way down
because she might be liable for post-touch injury
and, besides, it’s not like she’s going to be financially rewarded
should she be successful with mitigating harm,
so, there is no “on the other hand” potential reward system
worth mentioning.

It’s the same reason she,
and those witnesses huddled
in a supportive constellation around her,
pulled out her star-gazing
witnessing camera
while George Floyd struggled to “I can’t breathe” communicate
while being deliberately suffocated
to overpower him when he was already down,
and about to blink
wink out.

The liability attorneys
and corporate accident insurance actuaries
get paid bigger bucks to tell front-line administrators
why touch
and help
and prescriptions
and medical procedures should be denied,
because the risk of trying to care for each other,
when it just isn’t enough,
is a last touch liability.
And, on the other hand,
there is no reward for the person,
the agency,
the health care giving and receiving
reassurance win/win anticipating
corporate system
doesn’t economically
cooperatively exist.
Compassion doesn’t pay–
it just regenerates more health care risk
and personal star witness liability.

Care giving,
especially for those who have already sustained transparent
vulnerable losses
in their compromised physical and mental health lives,
is responsible for first and last caring touch of hand and voice
every day,
every custody minute of care,
whether standing behind,
in best-effort solidarity,
or standing nearby,
spotting each win/win cooperative constellation,
reassuring wounded OtherStars.

Care giving opportunities,
health care spotting for each other, pays poorly,
when compared with what star corporate liability insurance attorney
and accountants
use to buy second homes;
sometimes including financial bonuses
for successfully avoiding any realistic possibility of harm,
unnecessary financial loss.
Care giving with active compassion
bears a long patriarchal tradition of being feminist underpaid
to believe cameras up,
but hands and eyes down,
deflect,
stand back,
don’t get involved–
are not politically disempowering
run-away capitalist actions and inactions.

Potential financial risk for helping to prevent further harm,
for doing your win/win best,
for cooperatively investing in all sacred stars,
for health care compassion,
for nurturing at-risk humanity in the face of immediate injury,
wounds,
losses,
suffering,
especially falling risk to marginalized persons of color,
it doesn’t pay well to the left brain dominant
patriarchal corporate
win/lose zero-sum mind–
but really is what life is all about,
at its most invigorating compassionate best chance
of win/win solidarity success
to the right brain feminist
constellation of enlightening hearts.

Earth Momma Blues

Momma
don’t help me

The ones
who can buy you
or sell you at will,
or tell you
they don’t care
whether healthy or ill,

The ones who know good ole’ boys

unredeemable pills

Smoking up weeds
or stoking up stills,

Klanish threats
to the cattle
without sufficient
commitment
to armed forcing kill will.

Momma don’t help me
grow up to hate CowBoys,

Grown tired of their noise
their boys will be boys
armed violating toys
dark win/lose ploys
most trust in just goys
red true white blue
patriotic employs

Momma
don’t buy me
another white cowboy,
they just don’t work out
they leave with a pout
I just wanna shout,
What’s it all about
when your Alpha’s a cowboy?

Who has no clue
what he’s to do,
which side to chew
in red,
white,
and true blue
blues.
