Trusting Heart To Health

Trusting Heart To Health
by Michael Doyle

In a complete break from understanding,
Far Left critics feel they must keep demanding
All the details down to the minuscule
That will allow common sense to face its ridicule.

The protest is that there is nothing spiritual
That could ever prove even near capable
Of being of any use in trusting our hearts to health.
It's a role reversal that has no need for stealth.

In the Sixties, it was the Left who talked spirituality
As being that something extra with astute ability
To bring healing to the sick and mending into life
But now, out of a headstrong love for constant strife

Now they choose to talk about a salad bar approach.
It's as if they think interconnections might encroach,
That is, at least, if it's in the slightest disagreement
With the Left's unspoken sense of covenant.

Though I, myself, rely on more conventional institutions,
Why do feminists suddenly get rabid about female intuition?
Self-realization and waking divinity are lacking for me,
Who am I or anyone to say there may not be some utility?

It seems to be that most of the Left spoke of wellness,
As if it were something certain and that we could feel this.
I'm unsure of what to make of the Left's new form of pessimism.
To be completely honest, I believe in individualism.

It strikes me as odd to hear the Left speak ill of slowing down,
And God forbid if you listen to heart intelligence, as if a clown.
It seems the pantheon of articles published pooh-pooh all of this.
If it's not mainstream or Trumpian, it's something to dismiss.

It's not for me, but the author that I have just read
Puts down all that she has previously advocated and said.
The reason she cannot deny is that Trump is for it.
With faulty reasoning like that, what can I do but adore it?
