Wake Up

Aloha!

Thank YOU for Stopping By

Song O the day!

ends in surrender

to feeling."

We don't honor our gentle souls.

"Speak up!" we tell them as children.

Assertiveness training

is available everywhere - 

but where is the humility

that leads to listening,

and to the solutions

that we so badly need?

We no longer understand

the difference between

humility

and humiliation,

and so have marginalized

what we need most.

I have noticed that countries

like Brazil, China, India

take real pride

in the progress,

financial & social

that they are realizing.

Here in America

we are more interested

in making our point,

in victory,

in power.


We are more invested in 
proving the other side 
wrong
than in working
together.


All the while,
the "winners"
our self-appreciative "elite"
laugh & plunder.

Our social fabric

is in tatters

as we dislike each other

more than we love our

children.

Commonwealth

has all been privatized.

The wealthy 

are fabulously so;

while those who go to work

every day

are played for fools.

How long 

before we wake up?

When will the meek
inherit this 
Earth?


leave us a 'shout'
in comments!
