Women, It's Time!!!

Women, It’s Time!!

Men have had thousands of years to rule our planet. They had centuries to be good stewards of the land. But, instead of caring for the land, while we bore their children, and kept their homes, they began destroying the land. They destroyed mountains for precious metals, and dug holes in the ground for oil for fuel. 
They developed all kinds of toys to play with, and to get jobs done, but their favorite toys were ones that were either destructive, or mostly for fun. Their toys required natural resources to run them, so they dug more holes, destroyed more mountains, and did not notice that they were poisoning our water and air in the process.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN: 

As technology continued, they became lazier, because they created machines that could do a lot of the work for them. They were bored, because women were busy cooking, cleaning, raising the kids, tending to chores the men didn’t get to, and bearing their children. Women were unable to pay attention to them all the time, so they created their own entertainment.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

With organization and mechanization, men were able to cut their hours of work, and needed more stimulation to keep them out of trouble, just like children.  So they created radio, and then television, and found ways to put their feet up and relax while their wives prepared their meals, cleaned their clothes, bore their children, washed their dishes, and fed and cared for their kids.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:                       

Then, the need for more radios, TVs, telephones, fancy cars, bigger homes to house their toys, created cash flow problems. So, women, again, picked up the slack and went to work, to bring in a second paycheck, so their man would stay home and be faithful instead of looking for entertainment elsewhere. But when we returned home, we still had to clean their house, cook their meals, feed and care for their kids, and wash their dishes.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

Resources became harder to find, so they developed new ways of cracking the Earth to get more fuel out of the Earth. But to do this, they had to poison more water, and then pump it deep into the earth where it would once again, poison our water. But they put other men to work doing this so they could watch their TV, listen to their music, and put their feet up. Meanwhile, women made their meals, cleaned their houses, washed their clothes, fed and cared for their children, had their babies, and all of this after they got home from their job.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

Bored men are dangerous, and our men were used to getting their ways, so they became restless. Unfortunately, when men are restless, and the women are away at work, or working in the home, the men create their own entertainment. They decided that they had created a country they were satisfied with, and a government they thought was the best, so they decided that others needed to experience the same kind of government. Unlike women, who would have negotiated, explained, and convinced these other countries, the men decided it was their job to force these countries to follow their ways. So, they went to war, fought these countries, and they tried to coerce the countries to follow their ways, and finally, after many years, they came home, sometimes defeated.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

Soon, resources began to be harder to find, so they learned that there were resources in other lands. Instead of bartering and swapping like women would do, they started a war to take the oil. But our men were old, so they sent our sons to do their bidding and bring home the oil. Thousands of our sons, and then our daughters were sent to this foreign land, without their mothers, and proudly fought for their fathers. Sadly, many of our children did not come home and many who did were badly damaged. They lost limbs, were bombed, some captured, some rescued. They returned home battered, and hurt, and often with emotional and mental issues that we could not fix.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

We started a new century and another man decided he wanted to show his father how things were done, so he decided that we would go back and get that oil in that far away land. But before they could, a true enemy attacked our land, killed men, women and children, and so our country, including our women demanded justice. But our leaders decided to go after the oil, instead of the murderers, and they sent our sons and daughters to fight this war. Again, we lost thousands of our children, and more came home battered, bruised, broken, and emotionally damaged.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

A new leader worked at ending wars, and protecting our children, and our land, but he was met with obstruction from those who wanted more of those resources. He was able to finally bring justice for the deaths of all our people that were killed by terrorists, but that no longer mattered to the men in charge. They didn’t like him, because he was “different”
 He tried to get the other men in charge to find safer, cleaner methods of fueling their toys, but they did not want change.  All our children that were left started coming home, and the devastation to their bodies, and the damage to their psyche became more and more apparent. Our children could not function normally. They were “shell-shocked” and missing limbs. Their bodies had suffered in extreme conditions and they needed medical attention. But the men in control had cut the funding to help them. They allowed our children to go without medical treatment, without housing, without food. When they tried to get food, these men cut their benefits. Our grandchildren suffered because their fathers, and mothers, could not care for them, and the men would not help them. They were accused of being lazy. And the men in charge refused them help. All this time, the men were getting rich, and the rich were getting richer. The banks had been cheating the poor, and something needed to be done. But the men in charge were greedy. They would only help those who would pay them. They forgot that the people had elected them to office, and instead became prostitutes to wealthy men, because their greed had eaten their souls.
More and more people struggled to feed their families. Women worked two jobs, and still cleaned house, fed their families, cleaned up after their husbands, and took care of everything. They asked for relief, and the men in charge called them lazy.  

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

People around the world were getting poorer and poorer. Mothers like us were trying to save their children. They had heard wonderful stories of our country, so they saved their money and sent their children to our country, in hopes they would survive. Some nations had gangs that were forcing children into their gangs, and young girls were being raped, so more mothers starved and saved to get their children out before they were killed. They sent children by the thousands to our borders, in hopes they could be safe, and survive. But the men in charge had been poisoning the minds of the people, convincing many that they were above others, and told them that these children were diseased and horrible creatures. They used their TVs and radios to make people afraid, and mad. Many people listened, and tried to stop these children from entering our land. Others called them names, shouted at them, treated them badly. But they kept coming. They had nowhere else to go. They did not understand this hate. But some of us came forward, and offered our homes, our love and our comfort. Because we would want another woman to do that for our children if we were desperate enough to send them away. Thousands of these children came, and we tried to house them all, but the greedy men in charge would not release the money needed. They turned the public against these kids and against the parents that sent them here for safety. Sadly, many of these kids were housed in buildings and conditions that would tear our hearts out if they were our kids, but we could not get the men in charge to thaw their frozen hearts.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

The men in charge started trying to sell off our precious parks and beautiful land to be used to dig more holes, destroy more mountains, cut down more trees, and poison more waters. But the land began to respond. Earthquakes began appearing in places that had never experienced them before. The loss of trees created an imbalance between carbon and oxygen, and the weather began to respond as well. Oceans started warming, causing trouble for sea life. Temperatures started rising, and scientists told us we needed to stop using fossil fuels and use renewable energy, or the world would suffer more. But the men in charge did not want to spend money. The preferred to give it to those people who would get them the fuels they needed for their toys, and the ones who the prostituted themselves to.
 They continued to sell themselves to the companies that dug the holes and destroyed the mountains, cut the trees and poisoned the waters, and ignored the cries of the scientists and most of the people. The men in charge continued to lie to the people. They used the TVs and the radios to infect their minds with lies, and fears, and hatred. They lied to the people about events going on, who was on their side, and tried to convince them that there was no need to change their ways.

The men in charge kept getting richer, while the people continued to suffer. But the men in charge convinced the people that were making ends meet that they were superior to those who had fallen on hard times, and demonized the poor. They convinced the people that homeless people were less than human, and passed laws making it illegal to feed them. They built benches and doorways so that homeless people could not comfortably sleep, and chased the homeless from the parks. They arrested people who tried to feed them. The men in charge managed to turn nearly half the population into cold-hearted, unloving, selfish people. They were convinced they were superior, and that it would be beneath them to help those in need. They convinced the people that those who were trying to make things better were the enemy, and actually convinced people to vote for them, even though they promised to continue to pollute their air and their water, and refuse medical care to their children. Whole towns had their water poisoned so bad the people went without water for weeks, and they accused the people of being “takers” for asking for water to drink and cook with. And yet, these people were convinced that the men in charge did it for their own good, and they voted to keep these people in charge.

All this time, the men in charge denigrated women. Made excuses for raping them, and told women that they were incapable of making their own medical decisions. They blamed women for being raped. They refused to accept responsibility for their own actions. They expected women to be quiet while they used religion and lower pay to keep women under their control. They paid women less than men, and tried to prevent women from voting by making unfair laws that hindered their voting. The men in charge had become afraid of women, because women had gotten a taste of financial freedom, and had become stronger, and more educated. So, they cut funding to schools. They did not want educated people. It is much easier to manipulate those who cannot think for themselves, and zombies were what they wanted. How else would they get rich if the women got smart enough to lead? But women had a taste of education, and they loved to learn, so they learned more and more, making them more qualified for higher paying jobs. But the men in charge refused to pay them what they were worth.

AND WE DID NOT COMPLAIN:

A new leader attempted to make peace with a people that had never attacked another land, but was working on nuclear materials. The leader had been raised by a wise grandmother, who taught him that friendship and talking was the smoothest way to peace. That friends are less likely to start a war with you. So, he went to other lands, or sent those he trusted, to talk. They talked, and they developed a good relationship with this land we had been enemies with for years. And they talked, and other nations joined us, and they negotiated a deal that would destroy most of the nuclear materials that our former enemy had developed, and their leaders promised to allow foreigners to inspect their facilities to guarantee that they kept their promises. Both sides understood that, though they did not completely trust each other, they would work at earning that trust. The people of the world were excited that a nuclear threat was about to be stopped! The country, itself was excited.
But the men in charge screamed and yelled and refused to accept this deal, because they still wanted to go steal the oil. Men running for President even promised to steal the oil. But our leader said, ”NO. The People want peace.”

So the men in charge lied. Their pawns on the TVs and radios lied to the people and convinced almost half of them that the deal was a bad deal. They convinced the old white men of their party that a war was the only way to stop a nuclear threat, and they lied about the deal. They never suggested that people read the deal, they wanted people to believe them. It was in their best interests that the people not read the deal, because then the people might figure out that they were lying.
These men in charge wanted to send our sons and our daughters to another war. Not to find peace, but to steal oil. Why did they want to do this? To make their “donors” richer. To put more money in their own pockets. War would mean more weapons manufactured. It meant more planes, more supplies, and more money for the wealthy owners of those industries. And once again, they believed that they could steal the oil and bring it home.

This time, we say “NO!!!”

Women Arise!!!                                                                   

Stand up for your children,

Stand up for your grandchildren.

Tell these men NO, you can’t have them
Tell them that if they want oil in a far off land, they can go get it themselves,

But we, the women of the world will not send our children to steal, or to die.

Men have had thousands of years to make things good, and they have failed.
It is time for women to show men how to do this. It is time for women to come out of our houses and clean up the world. We must not allow men to continue to poison our waters, pollute our air, or destroy our land. We must replant the trees, fix the landscapes and make the Earth beautiful again.
Nature is suffering, animals dying, and the climate changing because man has failed to be a good steward of his land. We have given them the reins for too long, and they have failed to use their intelligence to supply our needs without destroying our earth.

Women, come together all over the world. Tell the men we will no longer tolerate hate. We will not allow our children to live in fear. We will NOT send our children to battle, to fight when there are other options. We will not stand for our men leaving and never returning because they are fighting for the very things that are destroying our earth. It is time we showed them that kind words, love, compassion, and compromise are the best ways to settle disputes. We will show them that humans can sit down and discuss issues, listen to those around us, and work together to make the entire world a better place.
We will tear down the invisible borders of US and THEM. We are all human, and it is time we acted like it.   We call ourselves Humane, but our men have failed to live it.  Benevolence, compassion, understanding and kindness have not been a driving force between nations.



Women Arise.   We must stand together. If we don’t do something, our men will destroy us all.  We MUST stop the madness. No woman wants to watch her child die. Why would we want another woman to have to bury her child?  Every woman wants a better life for her children and grandchildren than she had, so why shouldn’t we help other women do the same for their children?

Every religion on Earth teaches Peace and Love, and yet we have allowed Hate and Fear and War in our lives. What makes us superior to animals, when even animals show compassion, and only kill for food? We must teach our children to stop waste. Food, water, resources are wasted on one continent, while another goes wanting. We must teach our children to share. After all, isn’t that what love is?

 Show the men of the Earth that love can be extended to all. That compassion is more healing than hate. Friendship is kinder than silence. We must reach out to each other all over the world. We must educate our children in things that matter. Teach them how to care for the Earth. Teach them how to communicate with each other. We must teach them tolerance, compassion, and love. We must instill pride and empathy, and hope. We must come together and restore the earth in all its glory. We must preserve pristine lands and protect them from those who would destroy them in the search of more resources. We must stop the extinction of animals, because if we can’t do that, how will we prevent the extinction of humans?
We must DEMAND clean energy, and refuse to allow another stream or river to be poisoned, or another mountain top torn away. We must stop deforestation without replacement of trees. We must do whatever is necessary to prevent the ice caps from melting. We cannot wait until it is too late. Men have argued and procrastinated instead of trying SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!  We might make some mistakes along the way, but we must try to save our Earth!!

If we don’t stand up and tell men ENOUGH we will not see that. We will watch our children die from poisoned water. We will see our mountains destroyed, our trees cut down, and earthquakes shake things apart, and our weather get worse and worse. 
Women, we know that we are sisters, not enemies. So ARISE. Not just for ourselves, but for our families, too. For our children, for their children, and their children. Women clean house before they leave, so when they return it will be clean. Why shouldn’t we clean our Earth before we leave it?

  What woman would leave her home for her children to clean the mess that she made? What woman would not clean her home, knowing that visitors are coming? Well, visitors ARE coming!!! Family, friends, and strangers are coming to our land, and we should be ashamed to let them see it in the condition that it is.

How can we do this, when the men are in charge?? VOTE!!! Run for office!!! Be a LEADER!!  Support other women who are leaders. Vote the men out, and replace them with women. And most of all, tell men that we will NOT allow our children to die because of their stubbornness and greed.

How many men would survive a week, if they had to do their job, clean the house, cook the meals, do the laundry and care for the kids? And let’s face it, they can’t give birth to a child!!!

We are stronger than men!!!  It is time we reminded them of that. They might be able to lift heavier weight, but we can withstand more pain. WE repopulate the world. Without women, human life on Earth will die out. Why shouldn’t we have MORE say in how those children will live? 

Seek out your sisters for support.   

The men in charge say that we are the greatest country. But what great country would turn their backs on starving children? What great country would put helping the rich above helping those who fought their wars? What great country would demonize homeless people?  What great country would disrespect their leader? What great country would lower their investment in children, the leaders of the future? What great country would let thousands die every year for lack of healthcare? What great country would allow their leaders to spread hate, fear, and division? What great country would divide their people into “groups” and define each group with different degrees of acceptance?  What great country would turn away people who feared for their lives and had to escape a dangerous land?   What great country could look at pictures of dead children washed up on beaches because their families needed to escape a war torn land, and ignore the plight of these children?
WE CAN BE GREAT AGAIN, but we must hold our lawmakers accountable for turning our country into a bigoted, ugly, hateful, and fearful people. We must remove them from power, and let others know we will never again accept inequality. We must tell them “never again” will we choose war over a chance at peace. We must hold them responsible for the destruction of our land that they authorized because of greed. We must punish them for ignoring the needs of the many, to pacify the few. We must make this a better land for our children, and their children.
We must open our hearts to the world. We must be peacekeepers, not warmongers. We must find ways to heal the sick throughout the world.
We must stop the conspicuous consumption by the greedy, and help the needy. We must see those who are disadvantaged for what they are: on hard times. We must acknowledge that given the right circumstances, those homeless people could be US!!

So, Women, UNITE!!  Demand the respect we deserve. How DARE they treat their wives, daughters and female co-workers disrespectfully!  We KNOW their Mothers taught them better! Tell men to move over – they have failed, and they need to get out of the way so we can fix their mess!!
