Thursday Thought

For the moment I am the one I am And I shall be here for a while.

for now

i have sought lodgings in my soul

since i let my mind speak open volumes

invited sincerity but harvested all

but twisted tongues and sullen silence

moving out to seek the likeminded

i found but figments of the golden rule and

saw that bent scales have made

good fortunes on the backs of the unfortunate

so time again has come to teach me better

thus to abandon my lighthearted endeavour

and reckon with the turbid waters that

lick the edges of my sanctuary

Sad but True

The best investment into her future, a woman can make, is chosing her partner wisely. Is he a fair player, does he have emotional intelligence, is he hard working and able, is he loyal and committed, does he have his hormones under control? Unless she can tick all the boxes, she may as well write off having children and raising them in a healthy environment, she may have to forget about having children at all or else face financial hard ship and old age poverty. This is a human reality still in the 21st century. You know it because are living it, my friends!

A Man's Job

It looks like it would be a real man’s job to turn this ship around after it has been on this quirky lop sided haul for too long already. It would take a lot of time and energy (never mind the money) to make a difference in the way our children grow up today controlled by a mult-million electronic industry. It would take determination and guts to address absentee fathers and those who fall behind on their responsibilities. And most definitely it would take real balls to suggest hormonal castration as a means to curb sexual crimes. Only the most steadfast and clairvoyant would indeed be able to put forth what is so desperately needed: women oversight in all sectors and venues of life whether in government, industry, or agency, whether in spiritual matters or worldly justice whether in local, national or international organisation and for them to have a clear mandate to curb male abuse on all levels. In fact, it probably will take women to do the job.

Put the money where it's earned...

Where we go sorely wrong as a civilization is by allowing a gambling mentality to be rewarded by overpaying CEOs, computer geeks and financial wizards while neglecting to value - and frankly pay - those who do the most meaningful job: helping children by nurturing and educating them so they will turn out to be productive, caring and creative members of our glorious 21st century societies!!
