Voting With Our Feet

It seemed to me,
when I was eight,
U.S. Christian disciples and teachers
had been given so much grace

And had fundamentally boiled it down
to settling for such small subcontinental WhitePatriarchal colonizing gratitude
for God's universally healthy
multicultural EarthTribes.

It was so simple,
when I was of sufficient college-bound age,
to simply shop around
play around
work around
the Great PolyPathic Perennial Philosophy
to find others like my multiculturally grateful self.

I voted with my feet
but also quickly joined my heart
and WinWin regenerative mind,
my nature as my spirit
flowing out
and echoing back
with resonant polyphonic four-toned gospels,
abundant integrity of Truths
with Beauty
in Golden Ratios of Good
with just plain mono-supremacist BadPolitics

Climates of healthy wealth prevailing
still with some rainy Monday pre-millennial pathology.

I was, and remain,
a conscientious objector
to colonizing Christian fundamental-fascist supremacy
of bad attitude
toward sacred polypathic polycultures
within our universal HolySpirit-Nature.

For no RealTime Jewish Teacher
would separate these two,
YangNature with YinSpirit
conjoined in YHWH;
bicameral-trinitarian,
patriarchal-matriarchal
ego-eco
humane-divine SacredHead,
AlphaPoint BlackHole,
Earth's AnimaMundi,
Secular/Sacred Original Intent.

I was a conscientious objector to Vietnam violence,
to war and slavery and forced extractions
and violent competitions aborting yet-unborn restorative therapies.

A C.O. to less than co-passionate love
for disenfranchised and under-valued women
and for sadly maladapted and under-educated
brilliantly healthy cooperative post-millennial children,

Who somehow know pre-millennial Climate Change
as opportunities to face post-millennial Climate Pathologies.

What if polypathically loving children,
or even WiseEldering adults,
were free to Conscientiously Object with their feet?

Object to nationalistic pathologies,
disinvest from aggressive intent of too viciously circling
and hoarding predators,
trading bad-faith threats of economic-political OnePercent Supremacy
enforcing and securing 99% apartheid
while promising/threatening Gospel
of PatriarchDominant Orthodox Grace
not including yin-resilient eisegetical integrity
of Holy ZeroZen EarthSpirit-Nature

Filling with richer
and deeper liturgical dancing,
more sacred ego-ecosystemic WinWin balance
of AnimaMundi,
notnot just post-millennially (0)Sum-Core-Soul
but Original Intent 
of DNA-RNA Multi-PolyPhonic RegeneratorGod.

What if Conscientious Objectors
felt free to follow our diverse Holy EarthSoul vocations
wherever on Earth we are most deeply invited
to DNA with RNA co-invest?

Where meet our hearts
and minds
beyond and through any nationalistic boundaries,
Cultural invitations
we might find
in response to merely passing an investment
and personal-political education application
with flying rainbow colors
demonstrating experience to date with nurturing
maturing as a healthy cooperative-loving
grateful
and actively integrating potential co-investor,
and supporter,
and voter
for multicultures of healthy resilience,
resonance,
robust nutritional wealth
long awaited by all international Conscientious Objectors
to National Rights and Wrongs
reigning supreme over Earth Climate and 
Energy and 
Nutrition and
Health Matriotic Rights and Patriotic Wrongs.

If I receive recruitment brochures
on 100% recycling paper
for Conscientious Objectors to extractive colonizing mentalities wanted
in Malaysia
and Fiji,
Panama
and Brazil,
Egypt
and South Africa,
Ireland
and Turkey,
Israel
and India,
Japan
and North and South Korea,
Iceland
and Australia,
looking to attract
objectors to Totalitarian Militaristic Cultures
and EnCulturation,
in all its secular
and quasi-sanctimonious
fundamentally xenophobic apartheid deformations,

Looking for those supporting
a thinner healthier non-violent
Switzerland of nutritional
and energy democracy,
Rights to HealthingEarth,
Mother Forest inhabitations,
Pacific Beach combing and networking
and sand reweaving waves of time ourselves.

What Conscientious Objector could resist
such lavish invitations
to walk away from those left pre-millennially behind
to think and stink its OK
and safer
to buy and sell and extract each others' sacred vocations?
To health and healing and healer,
to co-redeem,
restore just and peaceful karma cultures.

What God has conjoined
as Sacred EarthTribes
re-integrating cooperative ParadiseLost
designed best for creole WinWinning
together Elite and NotNotElite.

I have always wanted healthier cooperative wealth,
not only with Earth's humane conscientious objectors
to Business As Usual Apartheid,
but also bilaterally co-invested ego-ecoconscientious advocates
mentors
teachers
parents most gracefully abundant
and awesomely edible forest-dwellers,
restoring turquoise surfing oceans,
breathing in
as out,

Without annoying distractions
of nationalistic apartheid
investing in wall-building 
where YHWH has planted conjoining rivers,
heading both from and toward MatrioticEarth's
deeply learning
sacred ecological 
polypathic theology.
