“The time has come” the Walrus said…

“The time has come,” the Walrus said…

I’m not sure what kind of a title to use, but that one popped into my head when I sat down here.  I want to spill my guts and not hold shit back. Writing is my coping mechanism for stuff I don’t understand and it’s how I justify my existence to myself. I’m not one to drift through life without a purpose, but I’m losing faith.

I care deeply about what kind of world my kids will inherit from us old folks. We have lived our lives and learned from our mistakes and I hope we’ve created a better future for them.  Being fortunate enough to have traveled a good part of this planet was humbling for me and we are all in this together.

So here goes, no holds barred!

What is happening around our world right now has made me question everything. I have my foot in two countries and I’m not one to shy away from politics.  The shit show right now in the States is beyond my comprehension. That saying “We’ve come a long way baby” is starting to ring false… we’ve obviously not come far enough because we are now being forced back into the dark ages.

We’re all born equal, but we also know that isn’t really true. Being female puts us at a disadvantage because males rule the earth. We’re supposedly all equal under one God but that’s also a lie. The number of different religions that claim to be the only salvation for our souls is unknown to me but probably too many to count anyway.

Being a good person, male or female should be the criteria or blueprint for moving forward in this life we have been born into. I don’t think this is rocket science, it’s pretty simple and uncomplicated, don’t you agree? Well if you are into the the right sex (male) you have it made. The rest of us have to fight for everything we need to live our best life.

We do need the male species to pro-create and therein lies another conundrum. If you did not want to be impregnated or have your life in danger from the resulting pregnancy.. well good luck with that in the country south of us. Getting an abortion may cost you everything, including your life if you have to resort to a back door procedure. Jail time even? The male that impregnated you doesn’t face any consequences. He’s a male!

I believe that good always wins out, but I’m not so sure about that anymore, and that’s why I sat down here to write this blog. The evil happening south of us is creeping into our everyday lives and is disguised as being ‘Christian’… omg! Here comes religion again to conquer and divide. As women, we are having to fight yet again for the right to live in our bodies as how we see fit. How is this even possible in this day and age?

This of course is only the tip of the iceberg. I’m not a Christian or a Muslim, not a Buddhist or whatever religion you can name. I am just an older senior female, navigating life in the single lane.  I care about what’s happening in the world because I want my kids and my grandchildren to live free. I want a better world for their sake only. I have lived my life, and do so each and every day I am fortunate to have left.

I believe in a higher power and good versus evil. I have recently had to put my trust in this belief because of my despair over what’s happening south of us. The States is the most powerful country in the world, what happens to them trickles down to what happens to us. We need to fight to keep our freedoms and not let evil dictate our existence as females, or us all for that matter. I would go to war and fight if I was younger, my dad and his three brothers all fought in World War Two so we could live free.

No country should elect a dictator, a convicted felon, or a liar, cheater, and all-around not-a-good person. I’m standing up to be counted, I want a person with morals running my country and that includes my adopted country to the south of us. The old guy may be senile, and if he’s senile so am I… but he is not surrounded by convicted felons, greed, and white supremacists waiting in the wings to take control of everything.

I’m putting my trust in good versus evil and hoping for the best. It’s the only way I can sleep at night because I care so much. AND there I said it … and I wrote it down and now I can put it to rest. Have at me if you will but I trust my gut and it led me here to write this blog.
