The subtle and permeating workings of hope inspire the artist in me.<\/p>\n<p>The metaphor of yeast rising, the smallest portion of the bread &#8212; <em>the yeast of these &#8212;<\/em> responsible for the very nature of a successful outcome, speaks to the infective and catalytic role that hope plays in social transformation, in social uprisings giving results\u00a0often surprisingly larger than the sum of the mere parts.\u00a0 That the uplifting power of yeast is invisible to the eye is far from insignificant.\u00a0 Even the penetrating scientific mind will likely lead to a disgust to our human sensibilities: the gas released by yeast that expands to rise the dough is the waste product of microbial fermentation, yeast farts if you will. To add insult to injury to some, the pockets of dough that successfully capture these farts so well is attributable to the much demonized foodstuff called gluten &#8212; be afraid, very afraid!<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the world of bread-making, in the human world, the downtrodden, dispossessed, and disenfranchised are the necessary ingredient and driver in social justice movements.\u00a0 The sanitized conventional wisdom that it is an elite class of intelligentsia or highly formally educated &#8220;managers&#8221; who guide social transformation is simply wrong.\u00a0 In truth, such conventional forces are typically beholden to making a different kind of &#8220;bread&#8221; &#8212; or bred.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/Peace\/Buttons\/Bread-Not-Bombs-Flour-Power-Its-the-Yeast-We-Can-Do-FUNNY-PEACE-BUTTON.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/toppun.com\/ProductImages\/peace_anti_war_political_public_health_pictures\/Bread_Not_Bombs_Flour_Power.gif\" alt=\"Bread Not Bombs Flour Power Its the Yeast We Can Do-FUNNY PEACE BUTTON\" width=\"172\" height=\"172\" \/><\/a>The lessens learned in the school of hard knocks are fertile fodder for street smarts and a built-in &#8220;skin in the game&#8221; that\u00a0powers authentic personal and social transformation.\u00a0 The primary purpose of so-called social success and &#8220;middle-class&#8221; living may very well be to erect a firewall between one&#8217;s own success (and kin or clan) and the milieu of the messy, grungy, and sometimes vulgar &#8220;lower&#8221; classes.\u00a0 This firewall is the very barrier that creates and perpetuates social injustice.\u00a0 The sanitized, impersonal, distant injustices of the board room and bedroom communities are normalized as &#8220;civilized,&#8221; even though they are responsible for far more human lost potential and suffering than the &#8220;barbaric&#8221; physical acting out of street crime and &#8220;bad&#8221; neighborhoods.\u00a0 White collar crimes go unpunished or perhaps dealt with &#8220;as a cost of doing business &#8221; &#8212; on occasion there is a slap on the wrist, more like going into the penalty box within a blood sport.\u00a0 Almost without saying, waging war is a patriot duty, not a human tragedy.\u00a0 &#8220;Street&#8221; crimes involving actual people &#8212; as opposed to corporate people &#8212; are an almost exclusive focus, to protect property and mostly respectable people.\u00a0 People of color, those lowest on the social ladder &#8212; or any &#8220;other&#8221; &#8212; get the book thrown at them by erudite, costumed judges and enforced by less-erudite, armed, uniformed police.<\/p>\n<p>This poem alludes to nonviolence, <em>Rising\/Without flail<\/em>, but this is not simply a comfortable nonviolence of safe pacifists.\u00a0 On the receiving end of violence by the state and the powers that be, its victims eventually realize that you can&#8217;t beat the state at its own game.\u00a0 Besides being outgunned, &#8220;non-sanctioned&#8221; violence is used to discredit social movements and serves as a convenient excuse to violently suppress &#8212; in a &#8220;civilized&#8221; way of course &#8212; social revolutionaries.\u00a0 When rising tides of resistance reach critical masses, violence is what the state knows best to put down resistance.\u00a0 The usually unbroken veneer of civility is deeply threatened when persistent nonviolent resistance bares the brutish, overwhelming power of the state.\u00a0 This is a highly effective weapon in manifesting true civility.\u00a0 The solidarity needed for such a daring and dangerous venture is rooted in the shared experiences of the many disenfranchisements that the powers that be yield.\u00a0 The equation of having more to gain than lose in such a venture presents the palpable opportunity and deep root for real social change.\u00a0 Privilege works against such opportunity, when the status quo favors one&#8217;s own personal interests.\u00a0 Plus, beyond any simple equation, the humanity gained by living in solidarity restores some measure of the humanity robbed by injustices.\u00a0 Long the weigh, many realize that peace is the way, and\u00a0such folks offer another way of living that doesn&#8217;t re-lie on the dehumanization of others.<\/p>\n<p>May you find peace long the weigh and bare its many fruits&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>POSTSCRIPT: On a somewhat more vulgar, and perhaps somewhat embarrassing, note, this poem can be red quite well as a sexual poem.\u00a0 This was not my original intent.\u00a0 If you read it that way, you are probably a man!\u00a0 This is a fine example of how it is possible, particularly for a man,\u00a0to sexual eyes most anything, any metaphor.\u00a0 Hopefully, this multiple meaning will harm no one.\u00a0 Enjoy!\u00a0 I hope to never lose my touch&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wile there is much bred Daily preyed for Ample for awe
