ON the CURVE of EVOLUTION #Poem by David Sparenberg

Make a loud sound
Join
And be a bright presence
Beat on a drum
Raise your voices
In the heat
And the beauty of protest

Song-chant the
Truth-force of life:
Life of justice
Life of freedom
Life of generosity
The good of sharing and equality
Life of peace
For the sake of sanity
For the sanity of peace
For the sanctity of life
Without hostility
Without animosity
Without enemies
Without causing orphans
Without making war
Without maiming starving
And terrorizing children

In reciprocity
Protecting life
Of this planet – that is the key
On this living sphere
Third in our orbit
From the life giving fire
Of the light giving sun
That is the key!

Shout out for joy
Be joyous
In the merriment of marches
March through the summer
Through the leaf
Dropping season
We are Earth’s footprints together
In pilgrimage conjoining
On the curve of evolution

The political dinosaurs
Of warmaking terror
Terrors of violence
And the crimes of greed
By our activism
The plunder-terrorists are brought
Down to remember what
In the maze of history they are
The dread death-throes of their
Outdated (and condemned) unmasked
Tyrannies - Truth
Catches up to them
And soon
Sooner not much longer now
They are rendered
Fossils
Decomposing in dry shallow
Shadows
The broken power
In their defanged disempowered
Extinction-time

But we:
We are vanguards We
Our awakening hearts We
Our woke minds valiant
And the inclusive furtherance
Of the Hallowing
Humanness
Of the Evolutionary
Human soul

So stand up
Join hands
Sound off
Be an intimate link in
The DNA chain of global changes
In the mutual Vibrancy of Liberation
For
We the people
Are the convergence of pioneers
We are protesters pathfinders
Intergenerational We
Connectivity weavers We
Barefoot Earth Walkers - Dreaming
The Dream of the Earth
Radically manifesting
Rising up
Rising together
Ensouled Passional Empowered…
Veterans of resistance…
On the curve of evolution
