Lovers Interdependence Day

Tell me less and last
about who and what and why you hate
with militant might.

Speak with me more and first
about who and what and why you love
with brilliant bright.

I will listen all this day
and next,
all my life
if your voice can positively project
long enough to leave no time at all
for hate
and anger,
envy and fear of losing
who and what and why we love
our synergetic health
and not our too violent fragments of pathology

Rambling on
in front of unmediating microphones and cameras
about who and what and why
healthy nutrition and nurturing natures
of vulnerable Others
compete for your empowered 
disempowering disdain,

While no lover
with a healthy mind and heart
would ever care to listen
this day and night.
Nor our next,

We have so many warmer,
yet not too warm,
vulnerable,
transparent,
courageous,
curiously co-arising days and nights
for peaceful dialogue,
discernment,
endearing conversation.

Even in that heated time
of Declaring Independence,
when hate and anger and fear
against privileged white male royalists
and their loyalists
and their unwealthy terrorists
and their unhealthy reality manufacturists
ran revolutionary high,
we boldly spoke in democratic constitutions of love
about wellness,
pursuits of happiness,
and cooperative prosperity
more memorable
than historic hates.

What attorneys advocate
and statues of Liberty
and active peace lovers hear
in and on this day
are first through last restoring health wealthiness,
equal dignity,
freedom for individuals
families
local communities
to pursue our just dignity 
and wellness peace together
with democratic inclusive integrity,
liberally lavish love.

Historic hate and anger and fear
are dark memories still within us
in our sacred State of independent declarations,
yet these fade into our unloved history
of economic and political servitude
lack of benign royal gratitude,
and are not this today revolution's healthy attitude
for who and what and why we love
this Interdependence Day.

Speak with me first and more
about who and what and why you love
with brilliant bright.
I will listen all this green and glorious day
and next night,
all our loved and loving life.
