Silence Your Mother Tongue!
Silence your Mother tongue!
Speak it not but in screaming whispers
Sounds vibrating back echo in the darkness
Of your mind.
Yes, Hide! Hide your identity!
Cover your pride and affect the same mentality as the masses
Surrounding smothering you.
Force your babes, and toddlers, child so innocent, so loving
To deny a deep part of themselves
Just to secure safety from others
To be who you are means death
Death by shunning
Death by whispers
Death by accusing fingers
To say what Land you were birthed from meant
You are a mindless follower of the Crushing Hand
The red twisting mockery that is a symbol of Faith and Devotion
Because some following the path
of dementia and insanity
Meant all follows
Cant they see?? You left that behind?
You came here for a chance at a new life?
A chance to have Equality?
To not have your life ended for an irrational cause?
To have one race that looks alike, thinks alike, speaks alike
What kind of life is that?
Killing the spirit within that makes up
The Exquisite Rainbow of Souls that is Humanity?
Oh my Nona!
Oh my Grandmother!
How you must have suffered in the silence
Before the world became sane again.
May you speak now your Mother tongue
with clear clarion and angelic voices
up in the enchanted halls of Heaven.

Also knew a woman who had been in a concentration camp...still had the tattoo on her arm...
Lots of sad stories out there of how people abuse others. And, as you know, people don't even need war as an excuse....
Dukkha, suffering,
wheel of life off balance --
compassion the only oil that helps.

Nice idea, a worldwide "hug" day, would be wonderful. Love is always the best answer we can offer.

Although it's true, I believe each of us can make a difference, one on one, by chosing the compassionate way over the other options.
But I, not being a boddisatva or a saint, still screw it up from time to time. But my goal is to leave some things a little lighter than darker when I go. Drops in the bucket add up.

Thank you so much for your comment! I still have much hope for humankind to get better for people to get along and start to care for each other.
