Conservative

(Dedicated to true united democracy that leads to united growth of Humankind – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com )

 

[How much more shall we divide us embracing labels of Conservatives, Liberals, Gays, Lesbians …?  Most human actions are spontaneous reactions in an effort to adjust with surroundings beyond control. Labeling only enforces status quo hindering natural evolution. Kolki]

In a world so ideologically divisive -

Where politicians join opposition party following Victory -

Driving a nail through the heart of Multi-Party democracy!

Media label people as Gay, Lesbian, Heterosexual or homophobic –

Rightist, Leftist, Socialist, Communist or Fundamentalist -

Encourage campaign side track issues with endless rhetoric!

A few who value family and goodness in humanity -

Often get characterized as conservative!

Making election a mockery of choosing candidates so illusive!

 

I adore relationship and freedom of joyous union –

But against commercial pornography, prostitution, and abortion!

My dream is to share universal affection -

Ending all known barrier of discrimination!

 

I label the killing machines in all forms -

As the true and only evil to loving earthly norms!

I believe in things ‘We the people’ can do better -

Guarantying, for all, good health, education, and shelter!

 

I recognize animals and birds were here -

Before human invaded Earth with alien power!

I envision Dinosaurs never ruled the Earth -

Just coexisted in their natural habitat!

 

I experienced hunger being angry -

Why never want to see anybody hungry!

I survived bitter cold nights in winter campsite -

Why always cry seeing homeless by the road side!

 

I don’t vote for a party that fights–

To deprive others of their basic rights!

I avoid culture that feels pride –

Getting morally degraded, mean, and wild!

 

I am against all wars -

Unless we are attacked by invaders!

I believe a true patriot -

Can never send another beyond border!

 

You may call me conservative or altruist!

Even label me as liberal, socialist or extremist!

Knowing well my thoughts, prayers, efforts, and campaign -

Only meant to recover goodness in being humane!

[Natural Conservatives are for Conservation of everything including life and definitely against Guns and Wars. Political Conservatives are historically Royals against ‘Democracy by the People’ beginning with King Philip II, Father of ‘Alexander the Conqueror’ who devastated most parts of Asia beginning 342 B.C. They are for Private Monopoly against People’s Monopoly; they are for Big Military Government (at the cost of general sufferings) and Prison Industry that supports the military to wage wars against the will of the people supported by their Private Monopoly who gain more Monopoly from wars related destruction, occupation, domination and reconstruction. They are against Gun Control for profitable Crime Industry and Private Mercenary which can be conveniently used to quiet down protests against their Private Monopoly and Hegemonic Military.

Still wonder why Progressive Conservative/Passionate Conservative/Neo-Conservative Government is normally against everything good for overall Citizens including low tuition, guaranteed good jobs, good environment, healthcare and peaceful community without the threat of gun ownership? Kolki]
