Love Poem: Light Powers

Light Powers

Lately,
I too often experience
anger begets anger
to also remember
love begets love.

This same appositional binary
appears in retributive criminal justice codes
culturally outweighing
restorative EarthJust climates
of healthcare giving
is also wellness receiving.

Our criminal justice codes
are designed to hurt 
and disempower 
oppositionally defiant individuals,
greedy
ego-self-righteous 
Takers,

Terror capitalized
Otherers,

Rapists
with rapid-fire militarized
Take Up PatriarchalCapitalist Arms
against Motherers,

Angry 
and coldly calculating
Murderers,

Enslavers
Hate Preachers
Right means Fight teachers
Avoidance Addictors,

And their neglected
mental/spiritual unhealthy
Followers

Often with police
or militantly commodified retaliation histories
speaking in Wins
for Good Straight WhiteMale privilege
so must Lose
Other rivalrous voices

Blind to win/win restorative peace
and EarthJustice

Where compassion begets potential
for growing cooperatively held
co-passion
through nonviolent communication

Verbal light
emerging from nonverbal life,
secularly spoken
yet sacredly felt,
ecologically healthy
begets theologically wealthy
polyculturing communion.

Anger, 
fear,
and hate speak harm
where unconditional regard
listens for healthcare giving
and receiving reciprocity,

For whole-sum light of love,
for compassionate win/win healing
EgoCenters
thriving in rich organic EcoSystems
of living wealth.

Passionate anger
is not an intrinsic dark evil
nor does immature selfishness
always lead to egocentric greed
and hoarding
and aggression
sourcing original win/lose sins
of dark oppression
and disempowering violence.

Anger and greed and fear
are daily warnings
that our nationalistic
PatriarchalCapitalist cultural road
to internal health
and external peace
is more likely sufficient
through lovely PolyCultural Communion healing
revealing transparent
and vulnerable compassion dreams.

Sacred Earth Communion
may begin by simply taking a breath
to remember rainbow ecosystemic synergy
of humane light
shaping divinely synergetic powers
of healthing life

Just as anger begets anger
and retributive punishing
abusive and neglectful marginalizing,
dissociative wounding
monotheistic supremacist
DualDark in-out siding Systems

So too, compassion's nonviolent deep listening
for win/win healing possibilities
for mind, inside
and body, outside
mental/spiritual health care
for egos still actively hoping
ecosystemic resonantly resilient
wealthy relationships
will restore interpersonal
trans-political justice
through nonviolent compassion

Transparently
and vulnerably communicating
personal reflections 
on a rainbow stopping traffic
to recall fleeting light perfections
of Earth's health 
empowering lively serene 
blue/green 
rainbow unboundaried peace.
