riotheclownI am reading Romeo Dallaire's book called "Peace". While I am spending a fair amount of time weeping, I am also interested as to how much clarity he has when it comes to how our "Peacekeeping" and how it has failed. I believe civil protest is useful to remind the behemoth of public opinion how the wind blows, but in the end, a total shift in the culture of war and its warriors is needed. And he agrees that women are key to this shift. I would go so far as to say Women of Colour will lead this shift.
Abuse, neglect, slavery, being shields for terror and tyrants, prizes for corruption and despotism, used for slogans and excuses for clawing back HUMAN rights, Ignored, silenced, sold, farmed, traded and in general disposable, even despised, along with their children. Diamonds are forming in this global pressure cooker. These diamonds are women with wisdom and strength enough to bring back balance in the world.
Of course, I am unlikely to live see this future when real diamonds are valued, so in the meantime I offer some cheap refreshment served in a cracked cup to all my good friends.
You got nothing nice to say?
Pull up a chair bitch.
