when human beings forsake
the critical principle
to recycle waste
material as a huge
mistake that will break
the resources extraction
rate over the resources’
regeneration
such that extinction may slay
the bipedal minds
that could not find their way to
resign animalistic
competition to
realign with the good sense
to commence with more
deeds toward cooperation
over annihilation.
Cooperating
means seeking harmonious
integration with
the elaborate eco-
intricacies that need all
to fall in balance
with forces that are sources
for sustainable
growth in healthy conditions.
[Reginald (Regge)]
Hi Grace, I am Reginald.
Friends call me Regge.
I’m Zaling’s little brother
who is a lover
of all animals; large or
small; short or tall and also
all tiny insects
crawling or creatures flying,
or those slithering
as well as the slimy ones.
Skilled mathematically
I’m a regular
attendee of two key guilds.
Appropriations
and Ecological tasks
ask for prudent, not reckless,
comment to cement
fixes for sustainable
finance to advance
management of resources
to maintain the ebb and flow
that all of us know
is the natural balance
of expenditures
with coffers of money saved
that assures our future
needs will be no more
than what will speed fair payment.
But all water spent
from a now dry well can’t quench
thirst or repel withered crops
that foretell hunger
pangs ’cause currency can’t feed
those empty bellies.
Forget the speech that harangues
the gains of competition.
A transition must
be the condition to forge
society’s path
away from narcissists who
gorge on greed’s gluttony for
excessive wealth and
repressive, selfish power
toward forming towers
on firm ground that empowers
cooperation’s skill set
that begets facets
contrary to everyone
of competition’s
very shortsighted skill set.
Conflict resolution as
“last person standing
wins” is the soul solution
for kings and tyrants.
Execution of win-win
solutions require more
distribution of
free will, self-discipline and
tolerance needed
for acceptance of diverse
thinking strategies that please
alternative views
from which to choose the best course
rooted in the source
that supports all to survive.
Hence, while we thrive we must
abide fair minded
accountability to
reign in naive acts
that track along everyone’s
road to higher learning and
erode ignorant
minds that work to grind away
our harmony
that feeds the needs of our
robust cooperative.
[Katy]
The Literary
Guild is filled with astute heads
bred to be well read,
but I’m the black sheep that reaps
the loot stashed in pop culture
and cinematic
truth they try to refute as
second class booty.
I, the lame, insane Katy
see their snooty bias as
being weighty brains
that trained away primal, raw
passion that fashions
gut wrenching intuitive
response to caustic forces
ensconced in deceits
from which we ought not retreat,
but work to defeat.
