Singing Stevie’s Wonder

I remember,
in the early 60s,
our thirty mile drive
from our historic family farm,
in relentlessly White rural Michigan,
not counting the Mexican migrant workers
whom our Elders pointedly discarded

Singing
on the first shifty shopping trip to Thrifty Acres,
through vibrantly young Black
urban heated streets
of capital glancing Lansing.

Stevie Wonder and I
nearby
yet out casting far

Him singing
all Black city churches
ringing

And me queer pillaged
in all White rural churches
villaged

Stevie and me,
harmonic neighbor memory
in my privately humming heart

Yet never possible to publicly meet
and privately greet
as this sacred land
and this organic Earth
were meant to resonantly sing
and resiliently dance
our regenerations in caste
together
not degenerations outcast
apart.

I didn’t know apartheid by default yet
but I do remember
seeing nearly black as ink skin
for my very first impassioned time

On a smiling brown-eyed boy
on a chipped and flat white painted bike
without defensive rims

And dim longing to talk
and listen
and laugh with him

About fresh green smells of freedom
from poor tired training wheels

Freedom to create our fast together pedaling breeze
across summer’s hot black
and white hate faces and arms

Knowing I would touch his warm dark skin
with loving wonder

What it could be like to be recast with him,
to sing and dance together,
to smell and feel and fly
our rich diverse integrity
on a brave tandem red in-your-face bike

Built for two
bright shining all ways back
restorying Black street glancing Lansing

Through my little Whitely inbred WoodLand
spreading sadist out across all Black without White
decapitalizing cities
divorced from woodland farmers

Left alone
to peddle fly while singing
our glad,
not sad or bad or mad,
hosanna holy wonders

As I reweave
this first drive by encounter
with outcast avenue perversity
against homo-sapient diverse
curiosity

I imagine asking Mom to stop,
pull our metallic gold Ford over
so I could ask his thick black-framed glasses name,
which would sing Stevie

And take his wondrous hand
to walk his bike back to home
and long familiar family
where we would live together
happily
and healthily
and wisely
most prosperously ever after
cast together all.

This was my erasing moment,
too quickly racing past,
to know passion’s love
at first passed sight

Sublime sung sounds
and dark dancing
satin brown skin smells
of Stevie’s tandem wonder.

TrumPublican Remorse

To USA conservative Christian brothers and sisters,

As I watch and hear and feel our health care
and wealth care resources dwindle,
and predative partisanship grow domestically
and internationally ballistic

I’m bitterly wondering,
on this otherwise sunny autumnal day,
if you feel ANY remorse?

For choosing to unleash
on your own vulnerable children,
your own climate-challenged homeland,
our organically cooperative
and beautiful sacred Earth

This dark,
“vengeance is mine”
spiteful
despotic
greedy
delusional TrumPublican
maladaptive
dysfunctional
irreligious federal administration.

Are you still living lonely
in your evangelical denial
that voting for a transparently
and ludicrously obvious

Anti-loving
Anti-uniting
Anti-peace
Anti-healthcare
Anti-Earthcare agenda

Was the organic Body
and sacred Blood of Christ,
Prince of Peace, informed
re-ligious reviving right
vote to cast?

How do you see your TrumPublican support
as standing with Jesus
on the radical side of “God is love”?
and not unenlightened hate
not fear-mongering
not disempowering anger.

Even the very proper British King James
royal capitalist Bible
says you will be known by your love
for one another,
by strength to love even your enemies

Those who don’t look
or sound like you
or even smell
and taste
and feel erotic attraction
the gendered way you do.

But a universally uniting
Holy Spirit of compassion
is not the way I know you;
I recognize you by your evangelical
nationalistic
sanctimonious
Chosen People sacrilege

Your falsely irreligious sense of holier,
supremely purer,
more orthodox,
than thou.

I know you as the John 3:16
evangelical cult of blind denial
that “God so loved the WORLD…”

Not just orthodox Chosen People,
not just humanity,
but the entire healthy democracy
of interdependent organic good faith
that love always
everywhere
every time
votes for health and peace
and compassionate humor

While hate
and fear
and anger
vote for unease and disease and war,
badly corrupted humor
and bad faith.

I can find it in my heart
to forgive you for one,
even two, sins
of ignorant voter commission

And yet,
on this spiteful day of Anti-Christlike infamy,
my religious mind struggles
to forgive those whose false pride,
cognitive dissonance issues,
continue into this dark dismal night
of Earth’s organic soul

I struggle to find shared passion
and pleasure
with those without any sorrow,
disappointment,
remorse
for irreligious
wrong
ideological dogmatism

Bad faith that TrumPublicanism
was God’s way of saving you
from voting for healthy multicultural inclusion

Healthy democracy’s constitutional aspiration
for restoring a more perfectly loving unity,
passionate happiness,
pleasures of sacredly organic,
interdependent peace,
not more unwealthy monocultural trauma

Irreligious
and irresponsible evangelical cults
of nationalistic sin
against Earth’s indigenous wisdom

Often Holy Spirit experienced outside orthodox lines
of monopolistic monocultural monotheism

Including prehistoric panentheistic
and EarthMother polytheistic
and pantheistic
and animistic reconceiving re-ligioning
living water
and mustard seed
healthy faithful wealth traditions

None of which are overwhelmingly recognized
by monotheistic addiction
to the anti-loving side
of fascist messianic ideologies
endemic to TrumPublican partisan strategies–
divide to conquer

Not democratically unite
to make constitutionally intended
world redeeming peace.

If you are feeling any shred of remorse
for ignoring political history of death
and/or theological mystery of love
reborn

Own it,
speak it,
transform silence
into choice
for extending love’s bipartisan resilience.

To do so will certainly not reduce you
to feeling worse,
and will increase our healthy democratic capacity

To feel better,
organically healthier,
loving,
peaceful,
faithful,
hopeful,
sacred belonging

Gathering together
our irreligious remorse
and our inter-religious choice
for global Prince of Peace rejoice.

Positive Politics

I am aware
we have a growing conservative academic position
that political science
becomes too didactic for scientific neutrality
when political scientists are too pro-liberating democracy
v pro status-quo theocracy,
plutocracy,
autocracy,
kleptocracy, etc.

too delusionally enthusiastic about economic
and sociological
and neurological health meritocracy

too positive about win/win co-empathic trust
as our best and brightest eco-political polypath
toward subjectively advocating for:
polytheistic/monotheistic co-liberating faith
polyculturally positive hope
and resonantly polyphonic love.

It does seem that this conservative political skepticism
bites the liberal education system that has fed them,
put probably uncontaminated food on their deregulation tables,
paid their gated suburban mortgages.

As conservative academic views
Trumpian turn toward military-industrialized advocacy
of second amendments to a better dead
than not-red constitution
for national corporate monoculturing greed
and irreligiously anthropocentric monotheism

I nervously notice that patriarchal conservation
of straight-western-white corporate
monocultural colonizing traditions
have become rather too comfortable
with a disempowering and unenlightened monstrous
win/lose 0-sum evolutionary survival hypothesis
that therapeutic and medicinal sciences best remain neutral
about climates and cultures of healthcare,
compassionate kindness,
and neurosystemic win/win peace,
while growing rabidly dissociative tolerance
for conserving anthro-entitled pathologies

such as divesting of international healthcare
environmental safety
secure and effective home and life prosperity
and vaccinated domestic defense systems.

My idea of scientific neutrality takes a Positive Psychology position
that terrorism and fascism and racism,
like narcissism and anthropocentrism and nihilism
and monoculturing patriarchal anti-feminism
and monopolistic winner takes all capitalism

And other forms of neurosystemic
and ecosystemic trauma,
no longer seem political-choice neutral
about effective and healthy governance
when conservative educators and advocates
are choosing peaceful and non-toxic residential climates
and cooperative family co-investment economies
and federal/state cooperative tax revenue associations.

Exceptions to this win/win co-governance golden rule
might be political and economic scientists
who enjoy teaching
while parenting macho-tyranny within their own troubling
autocratic fear- and anger-mongering homes
plutocratically gated neighborhoods
dysfunctional polarized school boards
and disturbing town non-dialogical non-councils.

Truly objective political health standards
can be explored and discovered through subjective neutrality
and yet conclude that nihilism
is not an effective neurosystemic governance strategy
just as denialism
cannot achieve efficient ecosystemic stewardship capacity.

I look forward to a more cooperatively graced
co-intelligent bicameral meritocracy

nominating and electing
and rewarding and preferentially selecting
effective democratic healthcare scientists
co-passionate policy designers
religious and public sector leaders
of polyculturing inside/outside climate therapies

Having win/win engaged bipartisan kindness
isn’t win/lose apartisan meanness,
and presented a well-documented commitment
to co-empathic liberating-mind/conserving-body nondual trust
in therapeutic evolutionary merits
(not devolutionary demerits)
of neurosystemic co-operative enlightening
and ecosystemic empowering
woke up political consciousness.

Feeling Green

I see with new eyes now
why you needed me
to be red
and not so green,
possibly obscene

And why now
my greenness has escaped
into your undeniable public domain

My lack of straight-up red
bloodiness must be my demonic
devious
demented
degenerate choice.

And yet
you become harder now
still denying green co-investments,
too
could be healthy thrival
and good revival

So trust in truth
became more imperative
to be dogmaticvally sure
I made a wrong
and nasty choice
to be not red
or preferably dead

And if not manly sure
then what else did all these pastors
maybe not get monoculturally
monotheistically right
by never listening
panentheistic
mindfully also win/win left?

What Othering abortions
might you need to question
if red could be wrong?

When mean to green
not just mistrust separate
but red superior

Like humans
are to mammals
and lesser nonpartisan
sentient beings,
like sunflowers
and lilies

MotherTrees
in resonant
fragrant
cool grace-forests

Preoccupied by predations
with allies,
micro-aggressions,
win/lose-diplomacy,
crime prevention
monocultures of punishment
from Divine Empowering Light
outweighing trauma prevention
sacred green win/win
emotional/contextual intelligence

Not quite so paternalistically precious,
mindful of humane grace
through peak cooperative experiences
repurposing EarthTribe’s sacred
seeding space.

So I seed now
why you needed me
to be red
and not so green,
possibly obscene,
because this worldview
could not have been challenged
within your straight white male
chauvinistic non-choice.

MAGA Power

When was the last time you heard
or saw
or felt MAGA group-think
capable of globally deep transformative systems
thinking
and feeling
and touching
and seeing
and hearing
and smelling
and tasting
health grows safe wealth?

Actively searching for benign
multicultural indigenous wisdom

Even if such an inclusive EarthTribal worldview
might replace our monopoly of monocultural
monotheism
fueling
feeding
breeding
our rabidly polarizing
and degenerating Anthropocene

Despite our pre-millennial pentacostal
panentheistic Hole Open Spirit
renaturing polyculturally polyphonic
peace Lilies of Earth’s Valley

Singing and dancing,
briding and grooming
polypathic win/win intent
of green work parties
democratically equitable
and energetically rebalancing
cooperative inter-religious
multicultural values

Left/Right
Liberating/Conservational
bicamerally bipartisan balanced
depolarizing
for a more sacredly regenerative
Anthropocene

Than any MAGA group-unconscious
unwoke
anti-democratic mob of LeftBrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale privileged
Patriarchal-Capitalist autocrats
and kleptocrats
I have seen
and heard
and felt

Still capable of bipartisan political intent
to achieve globally deep transformative systems
through healthiest-wealth economic
win/win co-invested thinking
and feeling
and touching

And not stealing
from future health wealthing regenerations
of and for
a more benign
Green Anthropocene.

Resilient Redemption

Probably few of us
have capacity
to see ourselves
as both Angel
and Demon.

Many of us
have had the experience
of demonizing
and punishing ourselves
for sins of the past
extending into our present
festering
unresolved trauma.

Hopefully many of us
have also had the experience
of forgiveness
and saving ourselves
from sins of the future
because someone shared with us,
in some effective way,
that nothing
is always your autonomous fault

If only because
no organic creature,
anthro or otherwise,
is born
or can survive
radically autonomous
from non-ego centers.

Personal identity
follows interpersonal
ecosystemic individuation
developmentally
causally
and effectively.

I hear healing opportunity
in this responsible
yet not solely responsible
both/and way of consciousness

As well as traumatizing risk
of denial,
too cheap self forgiveness,
too easy hiddenness
of our secret
most private
feelings of guilt
about harming another

Both intentionally
and without malice,
accidentally.

A woman’s reluctant decision
to abort may feel unresolvable
between angelic win/win desires
and demonic win/lose fears
and angers

As might
her reluctant decision
to buy a gun
and several ominous rounds
of deadening ammunition

To protect herself
and her children
from traumatic demons
at her flimsy door

Not considering
her lack of experience
with braver angels
hoping to reassure her.

Therapeutic angels
may also wait,
curiously
and impatiently,
outside that same door,
searching for health’s
most wealthy bell
to dispel
shared dark shadows

In-between silent demons
we abhor
and sacred angels
we redemptively adore.

Humbler Heroes

arth’s urgent need
for humbler heroes
finds unenlightened me
clinging to early fears
and angers
muttering loathing
and festering hate.

Meanwhile
Brother Integrity
and Sister Humility
notice global health potential
is already therapeutic blessing
co-arising traumatic warning

HealthClimate leading toward
win/win Integrity
and Humility
regarding past wounds,
afflicting and afflicted,
supporting
Win or Lose
Win and Lose
Healing and Hurting
unconditional regard,
uniting compassion
without cultural
religious boundaries
of health and safety consciousness.

Internal ego humility intent
and External eco-integral systemic
health potential relationship
includes appreciation,
sometimes a little more humble depreciation,

Where Ego inside
evolves integrally
organically committed
to what
and when
and why
Integrity’s humble
healthcare systemic potential
bicamerally transposes
outside-health/inside-safety
cooperative compassion

Already making babies,
sustaining slowly dying rivers,
maintaining quietly crying
glaciered mountains,
retaining liberal/conservational integrity,
Left/Right anthro-humility,
bicamerally co-arising
EarthDay’s primordial need
for humbler heroes.

ComPetitions for DisRegard

Am I unhealthy and unsafe oppressed,
suppressed,
repressed,
depressed?

Not really all that:
competitively impressive,
first through last impression
newsworthy,
enticingly marketable,
profitably commercial,
slickly corporate,
predatively intelligent

More camouflaged
unnoticed and undefined
unrefined
and, frankly, perhaps unstable
because of my environmental circumstances?
as liberal lovers
would have failing to ego-thrive anthrosupremacists
monoculturally privileged
and multiculturally misunderstood
underprivileged
shunned
and Othered

And/Or

Am I health/safety oppressed
because of my personal
bad ecopolitical choices?
like having unprotected sex
instead of going to the mall,

Not really reflecting on
wider and deeper context
like True Faith
and Healthy Happiness
monotheistically delivered
monopolistically endowed
StraightWhiteMale privileged
monoculturing LeftBrain transcendent
AnthroDivine judgment
falling shy
of unconditional regard

As win/lose divinely inspired Capital investments
support PatriarchalGod’s purely patriotic hierarchy
not-so-blindly selecting
who deserves Restorative Win/Win Justice
second
and third
and fourth chances

And who should not
escape Lose/Lose Retributive Dissociation
(repression, suppression, oppression, depression)

A social sympathy so thinly simpering
judicial powers are too comfortably scampering
to throw away personal freedom keys
with polarized dispassionate Disdain

Icing on Earth’s soggy cake
for feeding climate rabid
polarizing
angry
traumatized
lose/lose anthro-victims,
producers and consumers of Othering.

To get out from under-cussed non-classedness,
must I truly choose
between circumstantial ecological Voices
for resonant healthcare,
Or personal theological-felt internal Choices
for resilient wealthshare?

Do natural
polycultural healthcare systems
not co-arise
egowealthy green EarthPeace
spiritual co-investments?

So yes,
I guess,
answers to my oppressed prayers
by our liberal lover circumstances
and my conservational personal
integrating/desecrating
either Saint
or Sinner Choices

Do LeftBrain ignore
Both systemic conserving circumstances
And internal liberating intuitions

RightBrain questioning
interdependently unrecognized
NonVoices.

Liberal About Love

So, you’re a liberal!
she invited,

Are you liberally intolerant
of the unknown,
of pests,
of inconvenience,
of mere sufficiency?

Or liberal in your cooperative esteem
and co-investments?

So, you’re a conservative?
redeeming ChristMother,
economically and politically co-investing
in trans-regenerational listening
for win/win culturally synergetic questions
posed by cooperatively thriving historic transactions

Before win/lose assuming
empowering sufficiency
of resilient win/win conversation
could not lead back to interfaith conservation

Of all EarthMother’s healthiest liberal opportunities
while also conserving MotherEarth’s wealthiest conservation

Safe and healthy
polyvagal inter-good green faith
goals of healthy global purpose

Wealthy empowerment
enlightening
by religioning
reconnecting EarthHealth
of synergetic,
metaphonic meaning
wellness purposes

Recalling enlightening songs
empowering
polypathic dances
of voice
and throat
and mind
and non-verbal soaring
and leaping
and liberal loving
graced bodies.
