Powers of Enlightenment

I've noticed our Republic's RightWing Tree of Life reacts to root-systemic problems as if oak strong branches lifted to majesty worshiping heights of supremacy need not be concerned with watering and feeding democratic roots of nutrition nurture empowerment. Such behavior feels less intelligent than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth More like a gang of Bully Putin Pulpits and capital addicted Trumpian Puppets with boundlessly hungry eyes and upset stomachs Trying to feed from entitled top, trickling down to lowly leftover bottoms, what we must primally breed from deep down communing inside mused toward out and up transcendent/immanent both/and win/win resonant organic uniting experience Not quite so angry with enfeebled branched-out leaders and not mad with anemic cooperative skills for resolving which top bully eating all challenger bullies will next be crowned King of the trauma-riddled Republican Mountain. Meanwhile democratic grassroots burn and grains of deep potential nutrition fail to feel multicultural health trust truth beauty wisdom compassion kindness Sacred integrity of a wealthy EarthMothered forest.
