Dear TrumPublican Christmas Klan

When you’re on top already,
proclaiming King of the US Mountain

When you hope
and have faith
and love that you are among God’s caste-up elite
in stark contrast to those sinners you would remain forever separated from,
then your separatist position
is also a defense-against-change position
to maintain
or increase
your upper-caste supremacy.

Only if you were a klan of black feminist lesbians
and transgender benders,
and dark-skinned magnificently chiseled queers,
who don’t want anything to do with you either,
can you offer an authentic mission statement favoring increased separation
without also taking a position
of wanting to sustain
and potentially strengthen
lower-caste absence of supremacist over-lording intent.

Assuming you are still evangelical protesting white males
under those closeted Chosen People MAGA masks,
I believe you are mistaken in believing you only advocate
continuing current “natural” and “spiritual” separation
between light-caste v dark-caste races
while falsely claiming
you are not also committed to preserving your upper-caste
“divinely appointed” economic and political privileges

And, conservatively speaking
from your monotheistic StraightWhiteGod worldview,
reversing past traumatic changes
against what any polytheist
pantheist
indigenously wise panentheist
and/or animist
exercising constitutional religious rights
to freedom’s compassionate speech

Recognizing and celebrating
man- and woman-fest PolyCultural Creator destiny
inevitably progressing
toward multicultural integrity,
sacred mind-full democratic compassion,
and organically embodied
non-violent communication pleasures

Not MAGA accessible
without decreasing your upper-caste hubris
with the help of TrumPublican niceties
like making disenfranchised political
and disempowering economic apartheid
great again.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Chosen People privilege is antithetically against
Jesus’s Prince of Peace
intentionally born in a lower-caste manger
Good News.

On the other hand,
perhaps if you could recruit more broadly,
diversify your Make America MonoTheistic Again
Klandestine assets
to include black feminist lesbians,
and invite what you need to learn from transgender benders,
and welcome divinely-endowed queers
to receive more economic and political grace
than our historically traumatic unfair share
of this healthy democracy’s goods

Then polycultural wealth could help your public image
in the racist-homophobic-misogynistic supremacist
trauma-informed
not-very-Christian BadNews Great Again
MAGA cognitive dissonance
unenlightened
dissociative pathology department

Anticipating a world class Joyful PeaceMaking Christmas.

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.

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.

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.

SoulFood Recipes for Peace

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best PeaceMaking practices,
to which I will add one
more democratically inclusive,
less autonomously exclusive.

“The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without [divine] souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all [trauma-informed] belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul [peace] isn’t innate,
but insisted that soul-making is by no means difficult
…gathering good [health-humor] stories is effective [necessary]
and not at all hard [resiliently sufficient].

The Revelators
said every [individual] person is born with a [peace-full monotheistic] soul
in seed form,
and need only discover the [organic] ‘blueprint’
of that [individual] seed
in order to attract the [anthropocentric] experiences
necessary to draw out its [integrity’s] potential.”

Regenerators
win/win hypothetically agree with all of the above,
born with a potential integrating peace seed,
we struggle with systemic traumas
win v lose dualistic pathological dramas
painfully dissociative
devolutionary ruminations
yet also
celebrate our greatest Gaian Synergy Story
of inter-religiously ecological
cooperative revolutionary culminations
resonantly anticipating
health-climaxing wealth
of panentheistic pronoia.

Re-ligiously con-scientious peace-making
within universally engaged
neurosystemic unitarian mindbody
and
compassionately pleased
ecosystemic bodymind

Re-membering roundly resonant Gaia’s
mystical polyamorous vulnerability
historical pronoia transparency
anticipating interdependent EarthTribe’s
soul-communing peace communications.

Once again, adding a culminating four-fractal fold
to three interdependent dimensions
closes a four-season healthy
regeneratively wealthy
peace-development story

Inviting our polyculturally expectant revisit
for yet more win/win synergetic soul food

Re-ligiously feeding spiritual Resonator minds of
con-scientiously breeding natural Revelator bodies for
re-viving more sacredly co-passionate Ruminators singing
organically co-pleasuring ReGenerator Muses
dancing EarthPeace soul.

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.
