Mercenary men

Dreaming of drones;

Globalizing graft.

Promoting preposterous

Proposals;

Marketing mischief

And miscreants.

Seeking new places

To plunder;

Spanning, scamming,

And slamming.

Victims of circumstance

Standing in line

To go nowhere.

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
