I was listening to The Naked Apprentice,
carefully,
cautiously sifting for any substance
behind mindlessly reactionary mulish gruel,
universally bullying
yet morally thin as frozen rain
on my windshield.
He has the mechanical aptitude,
systematic rectitude,
academic attitude
of a tired,
hungry,
and pissed off mule.
I know
because we lie and copulate in the same pen,
the same industrious climate,
the same WinHealth v LosePathology continent
and planet.
Barbara Tuchman speaks of Folly
as I might think of stubborn mule-headedness.
To paraphrase:
RightWing anger and fear,
paranoia and competitive greed for power
and food
and sensual beverages of proper self-medicating choice
status,
inspiring envy and hate
have long been perceived as paranoid,
unloving,
pathological
Sickness in RightWing extreme Folly threat
to resilient global health,
not merely my own healthy wealth
during this my fifth dimensional quarter of questioning
seeing
hearing
listening
searching for healing
deep learning
co-acclimation calling hindsight,
but, tragically, through all anti-social wounded untherapeutic time.
Always playing the Liar trump card
has not been so historically over-played
since Julius Caesar
told Cleopatra
he would make Egypt great again
because he passionately loved her.
Possibly modeled after Judas
selling out the Prince of Peace
to make Israel great for integrity again.
A feasible cooperatively healthy course
of action
of ownership
of governance
leading authority
leading responsibility
healing social intent
satisfying human curiosity
resilient mammalian courage
resonant living instinct
must recall and advocate
more than fairy tales of RobinHood internationally accessible,
dynamically mapped and media story-framed,
enchantingly systemed and captured,
health-modeled and remolded multiculturally.
This RightWing TrumpCard
plays,
and therefore sounds,
like a globally mendacious Folly question
That of an anti-social aberration, a wound,
reacting against cooperatively green eco-schooled redemption,
climate health care giving and ecovillaged planet receiving
cooperatively self-organizing group-thinks and democratic feels
of integrity’s discernment–
Not an Other individual autonomously greedy
to capitalize EGO-POWER!
A self-entitled plutocrat,
well-machined by a heartless RightWing Win/Lose bullying society,
a secularized self-righteous narcissistic nation-actor
in a failing anti-RobinHood EarthTribe,
a fallen Folly humane nature.
Industrialized
capital F for Folly persists,
insists,
preys and bullies
beyond one pre-millennial ecopolitical era
of climate pathology,
Far beyond my own climatically dysfunctional listening pen
for mules
hungry
thirsty
tired
and OtherWise
now preparing to live cooperatively ever green
ultra-nonviolently after.
