Are we wrong the way we are raising our children?
Today we are in a war . . . Many of us would always rather be in a war fighting. I don’t know why, but I know our children aren’t prepared for war. Not living in the U.S. We pamper them, coddle them and protect them and when they need to be strong . . . Let’s just say they don’t have the tools to draw from.
At school if they fight, they are suspended, maybe given a ticket. We don’t want aggression and yet when it comes to war, who’s going to kill our enemies?
I don’t believe in war and yet I believe in freedom. I believe and letting each of us fight their battles because someday there won’t be the law to hide behind.
A Warriors Tale . . .
On a cliff
saplings break
the earth overlooking
a great mighty lake . . . storms
blow and bend the little
twigs their branches dancing
in the wind until all are
dust but one
and it fights
each and everyday
to survive and
it grows strong . . . it’s
only companion the blades of
grass lying at its roots
with time the sapling reaches
out to the sky and grows
mightily on the cliff
overlooking the great
blue waves
lightning strikes
hits its mighty trunk
illuminating a scarred
blackened frame . . . aged
by time the mighty oak lives
to fight another day.
