Remorse For Wilting Violets

If roses are red
then violets are blue.
If you were as dumb as me
you’d have voted for Trump too.

This election just past,
I never wanted to sin
and don’t need more Loser wars
when Earth’s climate needs to Win.

I needed to act
not just say what we say
a little co-operation
could re-landscape Earth’s healthy day.

If hunters are red
our gatherers feel blue
cuz I was as dumb as could be
voting against surfing seas
unbecoming Earth’s TrumpDump
for residue.

I need to say sorry
to all who are not white busy aristocrats,
Sorry to gay and lesbian and hag,
feminist cultural diversity
turning from riches to rags
now deemed unworthy to wave
mean red, white-only,
and fading blue flags.

I’m sorry for nations and nature
now stuck with us,
now disuniting
when Earth needs to be health-cured

Not riding our tired school bus
toward further learning
how to compete unto death.

If roses are meat red
and violets trump-praising Marian blue,
I’m so so sorry
I let down angry red climate you
and ultra-violet octaves
reweaving polyphonic resonance
too.

When roses are no longer my red
and violets are no longer your blue,
then we might transform
to feel better purples
as all flowering beauties do.

I should have known
the Party for health of business
bottomless profit renown
would not make my health care,
or even economic security,
our deeply held value
to cooperatively own

To disown
not health care
for non-wealth bare
and all EarthTribe’s children

Red and yellow,
black and white,
they are not so precious
in TrumPublican blinded sight.

I knew when I did it
my Jesus loving Mom never would have
voted for spoiled fruits
of unholy dark spirits.

Republican by King James biblical birth-rite,
she would not have voted for cancerous wealth share
of Publican
and Pharisee
and Ceasar’s seizing bottom lines

Especially those insuring and financing further investments
in war-profiteering
MotherEarth raping
military-industrial-plantation privileged business
climatically self-interested deposits
rackets and hoaxes and threats

Against worthier choices for her vote
more friendly to health care
and holy holistic world-wide security
of Jesus’ multiculturing kids
not yet born for leaving behind.

If roses are red
and violets are blue
I would have listened to Mother Violet’s Jesus love,
instead of Dad’s Red-Paranoid 1950’s
distracted desperation

Disregarding 1960’s losing green health and safety
counter-culturing condemnations
of homophobic White Gods of War
and sexual exploitation,
fake, sold-out, Christianity

While Gaia-Grace was,
and womanist remains,
clearly bipartisan for optimal health
and security
future regenerating species

Compassionate win/win sacred lovers,
organic advocates for healthy curious kids,
red and yellow,
black and white,
roses and violets in Her sight.

If roses were red passioned blue
and violets were blue pleasured red
how much easier it could be
to see inside each cooperatively intended head.

I Wonder

I wonder
if our Naked Emperor
would recognize an authentic hoax
if he were looking in a mirror

And, further reflecting on that,
I wonder if this Naked Emperor would recognize
what really is our greatest threat to national security
while still gazing at himself
in the legacy mirror
of future history.

2020 ReVision

My son, nearly twenty,
living at home while attending community college,
without prospects of healthier, more robust, alternatives,
believes it is now past time
for pollsters to cast aside their neutral professional agendas
and play a more positive role
in educating this co-invested international polity.

So, ask not just Who are you voting for?
but first, try
Of the nominees for President and Vice President,
and Governor and Senator,
and so on,
of these United States
in which our grandchildren’s children
will see the day when one out of every four people
now living in coastal regions
will evacuate their homes and places of employment
before they return to the sea,
not just because we did not care enough
to slow down our fossil fuel burn rate
but also because we planted herds
of chemically fed cattle
without reforesting today’s climate pathologies

Given overwhelming statistical Anthropocene predictions,
vetted and ubiquitously corroborated,
which nominees for these public offices
do you believe will be most helpful
for these next 7-generations
of winAnthro/winEarth co-governance?

Which nominees will you vote for
because they are in your grandchildren’s best long-term economic
and politically ecological,
and just plain healthy and safety and security and happiness,
regenerative interests?

Which nominees do you believe
are the greatest anthropocentric risk
for continuing current climate
and monocultural pathology trends
toward further partisan paranoid
economic conspiracy mistrust

Divide and greedily conquer
either Winner or Loser
0-sum devolution
exhibiting rabidly nihilistic
and competitively terrifying
anti-ecological
capitalized and weaponized
Anthropocene Business As Usual?

Which nominees for Public Health Defense and Security Office
do you believe would also be strong candidates
for mentoring and facilitating regeneratively healthy outcomes
as CEO for Global Public Health Optimization,
Secretary for All Earth Lives and Deaths Matter Education,
Chief Guru for Environmental Health Defense
and Global Nutritional Security,
Secretary of Effective and Affordable Governance
and resilient ReGenerative Development?

Thank you so much for your healthy and mindful responses now,
and in our Wake Up! voting booths.

So, to all who both did and did not vote
in the 2016 and/or 2024 U.S. Presidential Election,
would you mind responding to my son’s 2020
hindsight ReVision questions?

About your active hopes for Presidents
and Vice Presidents,
and their likely Secretary of EarthRights State
and Secretary of Whole Organic EarthTribe Education
and Secretary of Healthy Humane Democracy Services

So we might all revisit
our Golden Rule democratic healthcare constitutions,
review how and when we have been governed
with at least positive intentions
to further extend wealthy kindness
and not impoverishing unkindness

By regeneratively nurturing co-empathic trust
of/for EarthTribe’s full SacredMindLiberating
OrganicBodyConserving
indigenously wise co-intelligence

Yang/Yin
WinWin wu wei
ecopolitically green cooperative
co-empathic ego/eco

2020 WholeEarth systemic wokeness.

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.

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.

Departments of Propaganda

2025 Steven Cheung

Communications director Steven Cheung accused the Nobel prize panel of proving “they place politics over peace” by failing to honor the president.

“He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,” Cheung tweeted.

1933 Joseph Goebbels

The Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, RMVP), also known simply as the Ministry of Propaganda (Propagandaministerium), controlled the content of the press, literature, visual arts, film, theater, music and radio in Nazi Germany.

The ministry was created as the central institution of Nazi propaganda shortly after the party’s national seizure of power in January 1933

Communication: intends to empower with information

Propoganda: intends to disempower with disinformation

Perhaps if the TrumPulican administration had the integrity to let us know up front that the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 agenda for crushing healthy bipartisan democracy in favor of autocratic TrumPublican hegemony

And if the TrumPublican administration had the transparency of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, to rename the White House’s Communication Office to Propaganda Office

Maybe, just maybe, more evangelical Christians would remember that Hitler’s appeal to the voters was a Germany First and make Christian Germany great again sloganeering; and when voters empower populist sloganeering, what follows is autocratic propaganda, instead of democratic communication.

TrumPublican ReVival

If there were no infamous passion for Donald Trump,
then he would not be where he is right now.

So, what would it mean to bury the TrumPublican NonParty?
not with the condemning verdict of not worthy
but rather worthy of healthier democratic treatment
than to further empower partisan apartheid
over bipartisan cooperative belonging

North with South
urban with rural
rich with poor creolizing
bicamerally co-intelligent
mind-liberating/body-conserving cooperation?

Inter-religiously re-membering
outside-traditional-lines multicultural curiosity
has been more resiliently empowering
within Earth’s polycultural history
than jealous monotheistic aggressions
against organic bilateral health care-giving
and peacefully interdependent care-receiving.

Histories of ecosystemic resilience
balance successful human nature
and resonantly holistic Earth nature
nurturing resilient economies
empowering both sacredly humane
and organically divine
equivalent democratic emerging
from prehistoric SunFather enlightening
EarthMother empowering
monotheistically transcendent light
pantheistically immanent power
cobinary political consciousness

To free ourselves from TrumPublican systemic trauma
with an ecotherapeutic landslide
of healthy democratic love
for sacred SunGod/EarthGaia belonging together

Healthier and wealthier and wiser
than falling into further uncivil apartheid

Healthy EarthMother synergetic caregiving
replacing unforgiving AnthropoCentrism
so TrumPublican families
and good-faith communities
could enjoy more robust health
resilient wealth
polyamorous SunFather wisdom

Worshipping
with more reviving peace
restoring ecojustice
within EarthClimate Rights
of constitutionally protected
democratic coinvestment.

Conservatively continuing to polyculturally evolve,
better, healthier, more actively curious, ecological listeners,
bicameral cobinary cooperative discerners,
anticipating ecopolitical landslides
of LeftMindLiberating/RightBodyConserving
transcendently sacred light
and immanently organic power

Of bicameral co-intelligence
to belong democratically together
more than autocratically apart.

Federal SmackDown

If it please the Court,
I have a layman’s question
about this federal government shutdown.

I’m guessing you all have noticed
in the Constitution’s Preamble
that it’s purpose includes
to create a more perfect union.

I’m wondering if you are concerned,
as I am,
that when the President swore to defend that Constitution
maybe he hadn’t read
and actually comprehended his administrative responsibilities
toward achieving this “more perfect union”

Rather than throwing all his administrative resources
behind creating a more perfectly partisan disunion,
which I believe the background discussion notes
from the forefathers’ constitutional convention mentions
as something they all hoped
authentic democratic intention
would preclude.

With this historical-contextual conservative background
in mind,
I would like to hear your legal opinion
about the President’s constitutional right (or wrong)
to disproportionately shutdown federal government staffing
and financial resources
in those States where the majority did not vote for him.

I guess my follow-up question,

If this is the President’s constitutional right,
to create a more perfect partisan disunion,
then does it follow
that the corporations and private citizens
in Blue States
should be paying a reduced federal tax rate?
to avoid historical problems
of no taxation without representation.
