Cognitive decline
follows chronic emotional neglect

Said the curious student
to teachers of dogma

Said the silenced sage
to muted musicians

Said the theologian
to exhausted bodhisattvas

Said the frustrated ecologist
to traumatized wiccan worshippers

Said the gospel sympathizer
to Old Testament victimizers

Said the scientific systems reformer
to irreligious deformers

Crown chakra abuse
follows root chakra neglect
because
Root chakra abuse
follows crown chakra neglect

Because my cognitive ethos decline
follows our chronically traumatized
eros neglect

As my disillusion
follows Earth’s disempowerment

Re-cognizing humane ethotic decline
follows chronic divine erotic neglect

Not empowering transformation
not enlightening compassion’s
authentically engaging information

Scientifically sagacious incline
following inter-religiously amusing
passions.
