Ode To Oneness

We didn't divorce
Not because of irreconcilable differences
Or double standards
It wasn't the bait and switch
or the 7-year itch
Truth is I was never married to it
I was born it's property
Subject to its favoritism
And it's prejudices
I was for this life
You were for that life
I was never married to it
I was randomly given a size
And it never did fit
It worked better
By comparison
But only for a few
Whether you believe it or not
They don't love me
Any more than they love you
They don't seem to love themselves
Or even their own children
They perfected their own survival
And see that the crumbs
That fell from that table
Led to more than we had before
And so believe themselves benefactors
They don't understand it
From where we sit
They've never seen it from here
Nor felt it from the hearts
of those whose resources were tapped
I think they can't imagine
How The Brand Freedom
Became a monkey trap
I can't imagine someone
Somewhere plotting evil
Believing there would be no consequences
That might explain the paranoia
But it doesn't explain their dehumanization
I am not, have not, and will not be married to capitalism
But I am absolutely of 
By And for a people
with educated hearts
And minds
And I stand ready
To participate
Cocreate
A better place
A better way
A civil collective
A man in the mirror reflective
I pledge allegiance
To Gaia Earth
Father Universe
And all their children

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself  They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.

Stargazing

Photo by  Gustavo Spindula  on  Unsplash Sometimes I check my neck to see if it’s still Half red, half dirty and half um Andrew, I’m still gonna need some Help with that Math We live in an era where Before you even speak an opinion You might be attacked For what you have Or don’t How you look What you might say How you act Who you love Where you live That you give a damn about facts That you empathize with those cast As villains in the common narrative Or even that you don’t naturally fall in line Being of your own mind Self-educated Self meditated Spiritually in moments sublime I lay on my back & count the stars listening to For Now Thinking on philosophies that rhyme Alone & feeling fine.
