Love Poem: Good Faith and Bad Seeds

Good Faith and Bad Seeds

The good faith of a seed
is to live together
before we die apart.

The bad faith of a seed
or an unfertilized egg
or a barren matriarchal womb
or a fake-gospel message 
despite MotherEarth's transparently inclusive kindnesses
festers fear apart
more than healing life together.

Good faith speaks up for restorative health.
Bad faith talks down to vindicate self-righteous
supremacy,
holier than thou-ness.

Bad faith reiterates
and redistributes
and retributes Vengeance Is Mine
until only those who share this particular bad faith virus
are left speaking
and prophesying among ourselves,
predicting
and incarnating our own self-righteous bad faith seeds,
monoculturing weeds
of unnaturally reified laws,
rules,
prejudice against those outside
our narrow-minded folds,
failures of regenerative empathy.

Good faith restores sacred polycultural outcomes
of spirit
and body
and mind
and soul
and heart
and reason
and science
and evolutions
and revolutions
of nondual grace economies
as merely everyday MotherEarth ecological lessons,
witness,
wisdom without bad seeded walls
against Sacred Wonder.
