RAIN RISING

in hundred degree heat,what fell will rise again
to cloud and cry and soak us seasonally
there is no escape from this/love affair between elements
fire and water,sea and land-all link
edge love/where they meet/they merge/change
dissolve into each other with the laughter of borders
Atlantis and Lemuria arise/Nile inundates
all of China's dams cannot stop Yang-Tse
We are recurring patterns of birdwing migrations
Birds V formations follow trustingly
Animals return like turtles to their birth space
Nesting,resting,moon eggs wait for night
Waves slap beaches like comedians
Sun track Almanacs for predictable harvesting
Seasonal sweetnesses follow drought heart aridities
Bone dry deserts were once oases
Over time,time stops.Waits for us to catch up.
When we know that we are here
it will have changed again.

"I NEVER STOPPED DREAMING"(Gig Edwards Bryant)
World of awakenings.Sleep between.Dream deep changelings
Oscillating Dopplar Effects wave formations.Rise on tides
Dumped in the bog of prosaic dailies.Between dreams-
we recreate scripts.Adapt strategies.Never reactionary
seek solutions/panaceas/remedies.Evolutionaries-
we welcome new ideas as allies,fresh hatched
so we never have to see things the same way twice.

"BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD MAKES THE GRASS GROW GREEN"
until you deploy,or hold a weapon,or kill
words are sleeping dragons.Indoctrination a TV program
until you form a visceral objection to taking life
PTSD confusion seeks to heal this structured strife.

"YOU ARE KILLING ME.AND THEY ARE ALSO KILLING ME!"
Civilians ,casualties uncounted -between enemy lines(both sides
firing at their common enemy-peace.Us.Unarmed.Non-armies
Both use us as targets and as ransom.
Both claim killing in our name.Both kill us
Their claim to fame is enforcing military final solutions
We are innocent.humans.Leave us be.We are civilians.Peace,please..

SPEAKING CHINESE
Marshall Plan post WW2-when Germany and Japan were rebuilt
by active application of intelligent economic altruisms.China learned!
Instead of wasting military trillions in black budget invasions-
seductions via investments in Third World countries.
Selfishness as survival.Reviving economies with Chinese yuan
means you do not need to invade-all these resources you own
So to Iraq,Africa,South America-Chinese diplomats
bond with dictators to ensure materials largesse
flows to Chinese coffers-our national treasure depleted
by the blood of mercenaries/soldiers-Chinese Empire
Confucian in its soft subversion-to influence via trade
rather than anger via invasion.
