Love Poem: Strange Love

Strange Love

We are surrounded,
sometimes aversively beset,
upset, 
by diverse warm and colder felt attributes of love.

We have each known and felt candidates for resonance,
waiting for our more stringent,
yet also generous, 
articulation.

Those remaining who believe unfettering capitalism
must be forced for sake of appropriate and necessary liberties,
secured and maintained 
even with military industrialized precision of commodified violence
and at least threat of strong and redundantly-armed offenses,
abuse and systematic nutritional neglect,
within our own corporal and capital punishing families,
wherein ego defensive strategies have been removed from conserving cooperatively resonant health,
in our local and state armed militias
contractually ready to represent us through arrest and fines
for crimes of poverty
and self-medication,
addiction and absent self-esteem
and lack of behavioral health and safety assurance,
and in our well-capitalized politicians,
not necessarily experienced with judicious cooperative diplomacy
even within their own extended family lives,
living in lack of love-leadership cities;
this BusinessAsUsual remaining ungrateful portion
of Earth's self and other loving citizens
must be invited by and through mentors
refining attributes of sacred love.

We need to cool down strong words for sacred outrage.

It has been said
God's love, like humane love,
can be ruthless against injustice.
A better word is relentless.

It has been said
Love sometimes requires us to behave savagely.
Better words encourage us to behave wildly and radically
and profoundly forgiving
with gratitude to Earth
for this mutually held 
wildly extravagant 
co-operative vocation.

It has been said
Sacred love is committed to destroying illusions
born of anger and fear and hatred's nightmares,
mistrust growing active distrust
of this WinLose devolving
descending
species of would-be and self-proclaimed anthro-supremacists.

Yet it is more accurate and precise
to see 
and smell
and taste
and hear
and grow love's Full Yang/yin commitment
to Integrative/destruction of double-bound illusions,
born of both ShadowYang's capital idolatry
of and to and for Ego's greatest Plutocratic HealthClub Memberships
and ShadowYin's rabid paranoid-bipolar resistance
to LeftBrain deductive-only,
no nondualistic inductivists invited
to play with double-binding dualistic reductivists,
self-proclaimed both feet on floor realists,
segregating NaturalLeft-Physics from dipolar SpiritualRight-MetaPhysics,
ShadowYang's anti-bilateral disculturing dominance,
overshoot of sacred Love's
Left-Right polypathic harmonics,
refining word choices and concomitant feelings
of and for sacred multiculturing love.

Seeking ecopolitically correct advocacy
for PeaceWarriors conjoining JusticeMentors,
more judicious diplomats of love's vast integrity,
inclusive of double-binding dualistic illusions,
born from fear
to redeem love's dualdark co-gravitating potential.

We evolve and revolve diversifying attributes
of and for sacred ecology, 
poignant and fertile love 
of Nature's Health--Spirit's Wealth,
YangLeft struggling with and never against YinRight,
indigenously wild Win/Win integrities.
