Earth Raper's Ball

Earth Rapers Ball

We are the rapist and we are therapist

We administer the poison and the medicine as well
We maim and we heal
We are split in this way into hero-villain duality
There is no us and them, just us

We trample and pollute yet we are aware that we do

We mitigate our effects to some extent yet we are growing
Our growth into many of many pulls from the stores and leaves waste and sores

Some shout of oppression and blame the few but it is the many, the all that share blame

The eccentric consumption machine is ultimately unsustainable
Each of our little pats is helpful but secondary to accurate planning
We have monetary resources
We have choices as to how to use them
There are serious risks with all methods
No-brainers are no-brainers
The rest is what faces us

Collaboration is essential

The ability to act fast is essential
The ability to be undeluded by immediate benefits
   at the expense of long-term benefits is essential
The ability to see the value and means of transition is essential
The ability to work in multiple time frames – now and tomorrow – is essential
Political bullshit is harmful
The rhetoric of conflict is harmful
Declaration of war and ideology is harmful
Not considering the views of others is harmful

Policy and appropriation are not won but agreed upon

There is no battle
There is project and the means to proceed
There is Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, and more
