ARC: Hierarchy of Needs

Hierarchy of Needs © ARC 2/9/2021

Maslow’s `Hierarchy of Needs’ theory illumines life:

first priority `survival’ advances to utmost care for all.

Conservatives focus on self-preservation versus higher:

`Progressive Liberals’ to them sound like socialist choir.

Subconsciously, the right knows that karma is due:

what goes out comes around in divine justice time.

Country hypocrisy founded claiming `Manifest Destiny’:

all disenfranchised except males with look from Estonie.

`Honor Among Thieves’ affirms they have moral code:

Kabbalah teaches our divine soul connected to God.

Thus, no matter what is going on in our experience:

primeval essence comprehends spiritual resilience.

`The spirit is willing, flesh is weak’ defines humanism:

master teachers recognize need hierarchy paramount.

Novitiates progress upward in wisdom/maturity:

analogous eight years driving vs eighteen surety.

Youth has rigid system of justice – tic for tat:

sibling rivalry rife with fighting over favoritism.

Once an adult and progenitor of own, realization:

parents love unconditional abundant not a ration.

The injustice of America’s roots stains history:

for twenty-four decades, not lived up to ideal.

Basic survival for white men has been mainstay:

all else inch progress in effort to make headway.

To date minorities still agonizing for equality:

recent president iniquitous in denying rights.

His cohorts are fearful like him to aspire higher:

integrity of masses rose like phoenix from pyre.

Evolution survivalists believe power is fittest:

fear `sharing’ will threaten their status quo.

The Giver by Lois Lowry master teacher:

better at illuminating than any preacher.

I have read multi human nature political tomes:

Doris Kearns Goodwin exemplary civil history.

Truly amazing that America’s ills besot from birth:

boils down to rich vs poor/white vs minority worth.

I have active imagination with recurring fantasy:

for a period, humans zapped with trading places.

White become black, and rich become poor:

attitudes would shift dramatically I am sure.

Jane Elliott, luminary educator illustrated ethos:

enabled brown/blue eyes discrimination experiment.

`Walk A Mile in Their Shoes’ is famous empathy quote:

I think it is soul essence of what all great writers wrote.

Certain Movies like Lost Boundaries exemplify anguish:

Imitation of Life is another that deals with race, color, gender.

Dickens, Steinbeck, Sinclair, Stowe…churned mind, heart, soul:

racists/chauvinists/misanthropists intent is evil superior belief goal.

How does a democratic society heighten empathetic awareness? -

question should behoove every political and religious leader.

How does America come to terms with military sexual assault? –

follow dishonorable lying demagogue accusing all else at fault?

The Lincoln Project was brilliant challenging tour de force:

exposed lies and malfeasance by political gerrymanders.

Yet, like Hitler’s followers, truth and sanity fell prey:

evil darkness smothered divine interring sun ray.

Hillbilly Elegy explained blue collar uneducated thinking:

highly informed TED speakers warn AI manipulation.

Social Media overriding thought provocative rhetoric:

rich conservative 1%s determined to divide electorate.

So, what is the `way’ to help empathetic growth?

The answer my friends is Blowin’ in the Wind.

The ARTS I pray, will illustrate and lead:

streaming billboards of empathy creed.

The `Pen’s’ mighty warriors of McClure’s are legion:

Tarbell, Baker, Steffens, Sinclair, made America better.

`In the Beginning Was the Word’ illustrates divine root:

Language in Thought and Action makes all else moot.

Hypocrisy by government/spiritual leaders destroys unity:

`Seven Sins/Virtues’ mirror cultured progressive society.

Karma exposes the `high and mighty’ sooner or later:

kith/kin feel disdain/cynicism betrayed by traitor.

Black Like Me exemplifies ultimate in awareness:

pregnancy/birth, soldier’s combat, uniformly shared.

We have learned emotions visually can be evoked:

like Rosie the Riveter media blitz can be yoked.

FDR’s `New Deal’ transcended depth of despair:

meaningful work uplifts human nature’s self-esteem.

The better one feels about themselves empathy is higher:

in unity then, all humankind, reverberates spiritual choir.

`Seven Salient Soul Seasons’ model enhances a bit more:

Frankl/Franz/Malcom/ten Booms emphasize spirituality.

DIVINE love inspires precedence over human needs:

kith/kin selfless love can manifest in valiant deeds.

Lyrics

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times… More
