Bitter Integrity

Integrity's EarthSoul
with eyes to see
and ears to hear,
with nose to smell
and mouth to taste,
longs to exclude
spit out
purge local and global awareness
of degenerative Earth's bitter climate trends.

Such unholy pathology
threatens too persistently heavy
regardless of personal culpability
and lack of political clout
to ecotherapeutically act out,
restoratively heal
what my own AnthroSapient justice generation
further military-industrialized,
automatedly colonized,
monoculturally missioned,
bought and sold and rented and enslaved generations
increasingly reduced to self-disabling Win/Lose competitive consciousness
more than WinWin productive self-aware domestic cooperatives
as matriarchal WiseElders before
this actively distrusting lack of good and healthy
and beautiful integrity.

Integrity's soul
longs to restore healing
patiently ecotherapeutic
yet actively ego-resonant revolutionary
eyes
ears
nose
throat wholeness
for inviting fragrant
tasty
beautiful
polyphonic co-operative green co-ownership
of healthy wealth original through extant
polypathic love.

Within whom we fractured are
ReForesters becoming
cooperative landed and oceanic Trusting
ego/eco-health investors.
