The Greatest Nation

Is there a doctor in the house?
A cryptic message from disunited nations,
looking for a credentialed healer
to surgically remove all our tumorous economic issues
and cancerous political tissues.

Those remaining after overdosing on pharmaceuticals
as media marketed
through normal incorporated competitions
for anthropocentric profit

Channels and parties and outlets
fed by gas-fired
over-heated
ballistic powers.

Unfortunately, our national party facilitator
and his great governance guild,
not rapid progressive therapists
but rabid regressive pathologists

Currently mad with apartheid medicines
further degenerating climate illnesses,
building sandbag towers
across drowning coastal cities
Earth’s poisoned oceans are reclaiming as their own,
in Gaia’s perennial rage against narcissistic nations
of irreligious usurpation;
predators, with overpowering mono-cultic intent

A TrumPublican tidal tug of war
between reductive FatherLand
against all-consuming MotherSeas.

But surgical strikes are not best practices
for responding effectively
to already raging and suffered madness,
badness
sadness,
never gladness

Therapeutic nurses
nurture more naturally spirited passions
responsively regenerating public health,
supporting cooperative sacred laws and organic orders

Composting richer climates
for poorer dysfunctional families,
polyculturing appropriate warmth
for optimizing wealthy public-sector inclusive,
not exclusive,
co-governing
multicultural Earth-garden uncovering
helpful-healthy community beloving
our uniting nations’ ecosystemically extending
neurosystemic expansive families

For proactive healthy societies
EarthTribe’s therapeutic guild recommends
co-empathic cooperative trust,
nurturing good political sciences
and natural arts
of healing medicines.

While weaponized surgeons
and authoritarian demented doctors
react against paranoid predative political nightmares,
health-nurturing nurses bring deeply resonant experience
reforming dark night scars
transforming light bright scores
of multicultural Paradise Dreams
singing and dancing
remembered EarthTribe childhoods.

Why seek yet another burnt-out
Win v Lose surgical pathologist
when we have so many healthy
Win Win bicameral
eco-therapeutic nurturers?

Trees
creating good from bad atmospheres

Pollinators
replenishing depleted economic soils

Polyculturing composters
nursing barren, climatically unhealthy,
erratically lost
partisan souls.

Planning Graceful Oldishness

In my early 70s (not THE early 70s) I discovered, without having had the benefit of being properly schooled for old age planning, that “long-term lifetime goals” have become “longish term waistline objectives” over maybe the next decade or so.

The retiring, too quickly transpiring, nature of these hoped for outcomes has also triaged down to a more responsible mature adult scale of peace-making literacy:
good health plans for resilient physical dexterity,
(used to be sexual athleticism)
good humored anticipation of resonant mental acuity,
(used to be world-famous genius)
and good faith passion for integrity
(used to be making a living by doing something not hopelessly toxic to everyone, everything, everywhere, all the time).

Big surprise in the gerontology department, lesser quantity of life, but healthier qualities of love.

A Taoist’s pronoia version of fair trade.
(used to mean not-fair-trade paranoia about getting ripped off by suspiciously threatening Others, God, Aliens, Big Brother, Artificial Intelligence, Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Bullies, too much over-capitalized, and weaponized, Bigness, etc.)

Now I practice compassion-engaging faith and humor and health by responding to systemic TrumPublican trauma with music and movement therapy, and writing sexual politics poetry, for which there is not a large commercial market, and practicing good liturgical song and dance.

Now in my 70s, I’ve also noticed that good sacred music, like good humor, and good health, is not just about commitment to the stretching movement, but also to the silent rest.

Golden Rule Resonance

Talk to yourself.
Think and thank about your past selves,
how you have changed
and charged into different interests/disinterests
over years and decades.

Think about your now best self
as generously
as you might best re-listen and re-see
your worst felt unkind Enemy.

What can you hear about your older self
that you cannot also innocently perceive
with pleasing inner child compassion?

To belong in self-regenerating health
we might long for curiosity’s inter-communicating wealth
of alternative crown/root passionate pleasures
now/past
mature/infant
VerbalMe/PreVerbalWe
biological/ecological
individual/kindred
sacred/organic
co-empathic win/win relationships
,
To avoid repeating Win v Lose past-condemning strategies
through isolated ego-identity self v unself dissociation.

Empty of more fertile organic kindness
re-connection
resonating self and unself re-association
re-ligiously fore-giving
resilient preverbal voices
care-giving care-receiving
co-empathic resonant unchoices

Observing
and becoming more MindSpirit/BodyNature perceived,
belongingly loved

ReHearing your preverbal inter-rooted child
become lovingly listened to
and organically known
and sacredly appreciated
as is
and ever shall be

To again remember smelling
and tasting
and feeling resonant health
more kind than pathologically predative wealth

By reversing organic developing “self v not-self” concepts
we touch all timeless root-systemic
pre-verbal pre-histories
of indigenously wise
resonantly resilient
re-ligious regenerations

That could not possibly
have kindness become you
with autocratically irreligious degenerations.

Imagine inviting your sacred-organic
polyphonic mind
polyamorous body
into this new reconnecting day
to be filled to overflowing fruition
with democratically GoldenRuling others

Doing and saying to our verbally mature adult selves
as we would have compassionately pleasuring Elders
do and say kindness to our preverbal inner child

Feeling yourself
treating yourself,
meeting yourself,
listening and perceiving yourself,
with at least as much reconceiving kindness
as you would want
your own worst unkind trauma enemy
to respect sacred neurosystemic you
and your prenatal organic
ecosystemically kind-kin home

Still living and singing to yourself.
Thinking about and thanking yourselves
noticing how CrownMe/RootWe have interdependently changed
and charged into democratically resonant interests,
avoided autocratically dissonant disinterests,
over sacred seasoning years
and organically regenerating decades.

Powers of Enlightenment

I’ve noticed our Republic’s
IrReligious RightWing Tree of Life v Death
reacts to root-systemic problems
as if oak strong branches
lifted to majestic worshiping heights
of crowning supremacy
need not be concerned
with watering
and feeding democratic roots
of nutrition
nursing organic trust
and nurturing EarthMother empowerment.

Such behavior feels less organically intelligent
than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth

More like a gang
of Bully Putin Pulpits
and capital addicted TrumPublican Puppets
with upset expansive stomachs,
boundlessly hungry eyes
and private paranoid parts,
and irritatingly irreligious deaf ears

Trying to feed
from entitled top,
trickling down to lowly
leftover
humiliated bottoms,
what we must primally breed
and seed
from deep down
communing democratic trust inside

Roots musing down
and communicating in
to feed organic communion up
and sacred community out

Conserving crown to root neurological tree-systems
resonantly nurturing
harmoniously liberacious crowns
both/and
win/win
organic/sacred
resiliently conservational root systems
interdependently
inter-religiously
empowering/enlightening communion.

Not quite so angry
with enfeebled branched-out leaders
and not mad
with anemically sad internal conspiracies
and bad dis-investment habits
rather than glad co-investment skills

for resolving which top bully,
devouring all challenger bullies,
will next be crowned King
of trauma-riddled TrumPublican triumph

Trumped-up singing:
It’s my party
and you’ll cry
when I want you to.

Meanwhile
democratic grassroot systemic wisdom
burns and blows
drowns and starves

Degenerating patriarchal migraines
and not regenerating grains
of deep-rooted integrity

to feel multicultural health
trust
truth
beauty
pleasure
wisdom
compassion
loving kindness
pronoia peace

courageous polycultural curiosity
about interweaving wisdom
of inter-religious root systems.

Liberating resonant crowns
and conserving resilient roots,
bipartisan integrity of a wealthy
healthy
EarthMothered Tree.

Or so it seems to me
noticing our disunited Republic’s
troubled Tree of CrownHeavy Life
reacting against healthy multicultural democracy

Deaf
to wilderness voices of dying forests
coral reefs
oceans
topsoil
shrinking polar caps
glaciers
rivers

EarthMother’s unenlightened crown of thorns
and disempowering trunk of sorrows,
man-privileged monotheistic
irreligiously and monoculturally wrong
ecocidally desecrating
anthropocentric maladaptive root-trauma

cannot resiliently support
TrumPublican crown drama.

Economically Great Political Health

What are your power values and disvalues?

What are the political powers and weaknesses,
capacities and incapacities,
of economic value and disvalue?
What values are not for sale?
What powers are available, but only without commodification,
without any price paid in return?

I’m noticing my economic values,
like ecological healthcare values,
co-arise with powers of cooperative relationships

Empowering win/win relationships
are not exhausting win/lose competitive exchanges
understood as broadly as possible to effect
increase
not decrease
or at least sustain resonant environmental wealth investments
in resiliently healthy anthropocentric
and EarthCentric regenerative eco-normic life.

My physical body’s powers
and lack of powers
to re-invest in metaphysical economic comprehension
of personal investment in,
and past divestment away from,
mentally and physically robust health-grace
does not replicate past pathology-disgrace,
loss of empowering face.

My eco-organic development v decay,
and ego-powered greatness v weakness,
draw from cooperative body-with-mind confluent health
versus competitive eco-body against ego-mind
dissonant pathology

Not multiculturally inclusive grace of health
reflecting sacred Earth’s polycultural climax
resilient ecological wealth

physical-natural outside systems
resonantly neuro-empowering
eco-normative resilient
mental-spiritual inside systems.

Polypathic bilateral structures empowering win/win regenesis
and disempowering monopolistic win/lose degenerativity,
heading toward both political and economic
lose/lose despair.

Do we make nation-states
on living planet Earth
weaker or greater by politically
and economically cooperative re-generativity
of progressively emergent
organically synergetic
democratic healthcare rights?

Responsible speech and freeing actions
of and for win/win wealthy/health
politically enlightened minds
and ecologically empowered organic bodies,
bicamerally re-connected intelligence
of beloved EcoPolitical Communities (M. L. King)
heading toward resilient polycultural climax (Permaculture Design)

Yang/Yin balanced
and proportioned
polyculture of healthy wealth
politically cooperative
resilient economic EarthScience.

Earth’s geobiological past,
problematic present,
and traumatic future health degenerative process
toward active distrust rabidity
projects weakening post-climatic pathology

A darkening bearish economic shadow
of what once was a polycultural climax-promising
global biosystem

learning how to correct unhealthy investments in ego-,
ethno-,
national-
and anthro-supremacist predative pathologies
by reversing current LeftBrain verbally dominant miseducation,
shifting to an ecopolitical Tipping Point pedagogy
of LiberalMind/ConservationalBody
sacred/organic balance
nurturing great democratically loving
pro-EarthLife empowerment values.

What could a living planet’s economic values possibly become
other than nutritional merits
of healthy neurosystemic compassion
for wealthy ecosystemic pleasure?

Liberating political minds
within conserving economic bodies
seeking win/win co-binary
individually peaceful and systemically restorative
bicamerally co-invested
healthcare reviving
co-intelligence powers.

So, what are your religiously right
and great sacred mind enlightening
organic body empowering values
and unhealthy
irreligious disvalues?

Muse Speaks II

This is a revised version of a piece published in a poetry anthology a few years ago. I have added an ecocide-prevention perspective to the original suicide-prevention focus.

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like “Suicide is preventable”

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication PolyCulturing Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature
sacred/organic
win/win narrative

Matrimonially prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative
and irreligiously patriarchal
right-handed fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive suppression
is to fear comprehensive
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic,
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother’s feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life’s
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist,
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion’s
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
EarthMother Muse lustery

Organic passion’s sacramental
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic
pleasure mystery.

UnSung Delusional DisAuguration

Polite Mess

Politeness,
like kindness,
may not sell newspapers
or win the partisan debate

Civility,
unlike deviliciousness,
will not win the civil war
nor leverage the biggest tax rebate

But integrity
is the world wide web of nature
that composed the paper
and incubates
the peace we celebrate
when impolite love to hate
of systemic trauma gates
recede well past faded
therapeutic empathy,
becoming civilly sedate

Singing while dancing
in politely well-said company
not seen
or heard from

Orthodox v Orthopraxis

Yogi Berra said:
In theory there is no difference from practice.
In practice, there is

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory
there is no difference from practice
of win/win compassion.
Yet, in Business as Win/Lose Usual
Patriarchal political monoculturing practice
and Capital monopolistic economic intent
there are no virtues calculated for compassionate communication,
for merciful creolizing political views,
and restorative forgiveness
for matricidal sins
of our StraightWhite Patriarchs

Ignorant about healthy polycultural,
resilient
therapeutic integral relationships
in response to systemic trauma.

Nonviolent communication orthodoxy
enlightens everything
but nothing positive win/win prevails.
Compassion’s transparent and vulnerable win/win practice
unveils every positive relationship
becoming co-empowered
but no one person knows why.

In our EarthRestorative lab,
nonviolent verbal theory
and compassionate nonverbal practice
are bicamerally combined:
nothing win/lose prevails
and every resilient relationship
compassionately feels why
0-sum theoretical assumptions
do not comply
with Earth’s Whole Open Systemic
virtuously therapeutic practice
of avoiding viciously competitive theories.

Weapons of Trauma Defense

When personal narcissism
and tribal autism
choose our words
as hurting
threatening
weapons of trauma defense

Rather than choosing wealth
of healing tools
for compassion’s therapeutic unfence

We soon find
that no one cares
to impatiently listen
outside our partisan walls

For whatever future win/win kindness
and EarthCare forgiveness
we cannot trust
will last.
