Words I love
Mississippi sharecropper’s son, old friend Dr. Joe Lewis
In my circle of life, Mr. Semiochemical4 … stresses a need
For a new science-/sustainable community-based natural language
For all to use effortlessly, effectively,
Justly, humanely, ecologically, … PEACEfully5
I agree (and generally feel we should remove pejorative words like “varmints,” “weeds,” “pests?”)
A more universal communicative language
Acquired locally by many
Across the globe
A language, vocabulary, communication
Developed through Positively Ethical Applied Community Ecology …
PEACE …
Across curricula and campuses
Of all human organizational entities
Stretching the human mind such that
Local is global and global is local
Such that we truly live
Sabiamente, simply, smally, slowly, steadfastly, sharingly, sustainably
And we communicate
Toward solidarity
Toward a holistic and profound
And delightfully natural
Prosperous way down6

2 “Beautiful!” in Polish; “incredibly beautiful or cute” in Portuguese; “deep, deep homesickness, emptiness, longing/loneliness for” in Portuguese; “stupid” in Spanish; a description of Nature including a sustainable human presence. … The meaning of pendejo (Spanish) can be a light “stupid,” “idiot,” or a very heavy “asshole,” depending on the context and the country in which you are. It is best not to use it in Texas.
