I know you are tired … (08/05/16)
I know you are tired, my dear … I know you are tired of fighting for justice when your brothers are still being gunned down in the streets, and when your sisters are still having their throats slit because they cannot produce enough milk for profit … I know you are so tired while you rant & rail to seemingly no effect in response to the crimes against humanity still encased within Israel’s Great Wall and those still perpetrated by every Obamian drone … I know you are oh so tired now that you have given so much to save our dying planet — given so much to seemingly improve so little.
I know you are tired, my dear … I know that you would many times rather curl up into a ball and not have to see the bloodhsed or hear the screams or witness the suffering any more.
Yes, I know that you are tired, my dear … AND YET this is not the time to quit. No no, for this is the time of our potential transcendence — this is the time when Great Change is ready to born again.
You see, many are rising with you this day — many who Care just like you do. You may not see them, and yet they are rising with you nonetheless … They are rising against the injustices of bigotry; against racism & sexism & islamophobia & homophobia — they are rising against the crimes of Israeli apartheid and they are rising against the wickedness of drone warfare — they are rising against the disgusting inequalities of homelessness & child poverty — they are rising against the corruptions of both politicians & preachers — and they are rising against the abhorrent cruelties lashed upon every innocent animal being used for “food” or “fashion” or “fun”.
Yes, my dear Friend, I know that you are tired … And yet now is not the time to rest. For today we are all of us poised on the cusp of a grand New Beginning. There is indeed still hope left, and as long as there is hope, we must rise to meet it.
I know that you are tired, my dear …
And yet come, rise up — and walk just a bit further with me.
