To You Who Perceive I am Your Enemy:
I got you, regardless
Just as the Universe
has my back; I've got yours
Because these feelings—
this misperception you possess
that I am your sworn enemy
is a false narrative you're being fed
by the thoughts in your head
trying to control the environment
We are all individuals, bridged
as intricate, threadlike mycelium
of fungi forming vast
underground networks
connecting various life-forms
into one planetary kingdom
of internet, storing vast amounts
of mainframe information
From crown to root
as trees, we are mushroomed
under the galactic umbrella
that is Source Energy
One day, you will remember this truth
and call me enemy no more;
you will call me friend instead
Until then, I've got you
in clarity and Love

I might do that if I had enemies, Francisco. But I don't. None that I count as such, that is. Thank you.

The first two verses are unnecessary because they explain the theme of the poem without offering anything in the way of image or distinctive style. The third verse would be an excellent opening. It’s a beautiful piece of creative writing, dense and elegantly flowing and with a mix of natural and technological imagery which comes together flawlessly. This is just my opinion, of course. The latter half of the poem is what makes it excellent, for me, and I wonder if you were worried about it seeming too opaque, hence the explanatory first half.

Love your observations. This was one of those writes that just came out. Rather than table it in drafts I opted to post. Anything channeled starts off wobbly for me, until I relax into it. Then I can trust the flow.
I'll definitely be editing this, so thanks for your honesty.

On the contrary to Jack's opinion, I feel the second stanza is a necessary component. It addresses the issue of the Internet being a playground where imaginations of the insecure can run too wild to the point of counterproductive.

I agree the influence of negative thinking needs to be highlighted; I'm just not sure how. This is one I will definitely be revisiting. I've discovered I kinda like throwing stuff out and having the readers mold it for me. Years ago I would've been mortified at the thought! Now, I'm like, eh. Whatever.

Yes! I actually went to see his presentation when he visited Asheville. I THOUGHT I was going to take notes, but the man literally blew my mind. Do you have any of his books?
I had a hat and shirt with a mushroom on it like the one he typically wears, but I cannot remember what happened to it. I think they're both packed up.

Simply great, we are all interconnected...
Broken down to our simplest forms, we are one..
We are of the universe and the universe is us..
If only we can all see past our differences...

Amazing. The clarity and kindness shines through, even as the hurricane winds of anger and madness are around, you walk serenely assuring them so.
Just Wow.
