Time for the Mothers and Grandmothers to take over.
I have been on this earth now for 52 years. That's a hell of a long time, if
you are standing and looking at your own life from
one perspective (perhaps the perspective of a my youngest son, who asks me
on occassion what kind of music I want played at my
funeral..)
I tend to look at the age of the Universe, and if anyone has ever looked at
the pictures from the Hubble telescope, they will
not only see how very very incomprehensibly OLD it is, but how very very
LARGE it is. That is my perspective, and I am on planet
earth in the Milky Way galaxy.
Mighty small arent we. Yes, actually, we are. We are all on a planet called
Earth (we named it after Urtha the Hearth Goddess, by
the way), and rightly so. We named it after her because it is our HOME.
Thats right, our hearth, our home, a place we all have to live
together in Harmony whether we like it or not.
Alas, harmony is not what we are seeing. We are seeing over and over again,
and I have seen this far too much in my 52 years,
a group of brats who have taken over the White House and are working very
hard to disrupt that Harmony. Im a mother, I know a brat
when I see one, and these guys are brats. They are the same age as me, many
of them, and when they were kids they were the
ones who flicked boogers at the other kids they didnt like and ganged up in
groups and harassed people. In groups. They never
stood up for anyone and they didnt show a lick of decency or empathy towards
anyone. No one raised them right, and these guys in
White House were NOT raised properly.
When my sons misbehaved, and they often did, I took them aside and let them
know they were wrong. I told them not to hurt
innocent animals, and I sometimes had to give them a what for! when they got
out of hand. Make them do the dishes.
Someone did NOT make the brats in the White House do the dishes. Someone
dropped the ball when they raised these kids.
I always told my sons, when they were young, that many adults were just
large children in adult bodies. You see, an adult takes
responsibility for themselves, they apologize, and, they tell the truth.
The people in the White House and the Bush admin are not adults. Its time
the Mothers and Fathers who are , gave them a lickin.
It boils down to this. I think the last straw with this bunch was the day
the "brats" took MY stepson and threw him into their "war".
That was it. It wasnt when my mom had to sell her furniture for meds, it
wasnt when my sister lost her job, no, it was right when my
stepson got his orders to go to Iraq to fight for the brats, the bullies,
the ones who call themselves the Vulcans (gimme a break!!), a
bunch of lowlife fratboys who needed some mother or grandmother or parent at
ONE time in their lives, a long time ago,.
to teach them some actual LESSONS about kindness, love, empathy, and
compassion. Its NOT that hard. I taught my sons, and
if I can do it, anyone can.
Now we are in their "war". Caught up in the games of some damned kids who
never learned how to behave. The testosterone is
flying, and that little blue planet , my home, is in peril. Real peril. The
kids have gotten out of hand. Someone needs to reign them
in, and fast. Its long overdue. They have crossed the proverbial MOTHER LINE
and it's time they stopped.
There are Iraqi parents and families that have children in this "war". They
share a planet with me. I share a planet with them. I dont
want MY child in harms way due to brats games, and I sure as hell believe
they dont want their child in harms way due to brats and
their bullying. Hey Saddam was a bad guy, he was a brat. And so is George
Bush and Dick Cheney. brats.
We are all just caught in the middle of little kids all fighting over who
owns the neighbourhood.
It's time for the mothers and dads who are actually adults to reign them in.
On both sides of the aisle. When one of my sons
got into a fight in the neighborhood where he lived, we mothers would get
together and make the kids work it out like gentlemen.
It was that, or do the damn dishes.
The mothers and fathers of all sides need to shout loudly and clearly, in
all arenas of the Earth we HAVE to share. Thats it!!!
No more!!! Okay you little brats! Time to stop! You have gone too far, and
Mom is REALLY MAD.
I reach out to the Iraqi mothers in peace. I do not want your child to die,
I do not want my child to die.
We must reach an understanding, we must share this earth as our home. We are
one people on this earth, it is now time
to hold that truth close, a dire time now, where we as US mothers and
fathers of children, and soldiers who are caught up in this
childish game, start to reach past the children, and reach out to each other
as adults.
I reach out, today, to one mother of a child in Iraq. I do not want your
child to die. I do not want my child to die.
I reach out, in Peace. Forgiveness. Empathy. Compassion. Life. Love. Hope.
and a world we can live in together.
As a mother, I say this, as a mother .
