Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

"Why the children" Ha2ku by ha2tim

Why destroy children/
Crush young minds in the machine/
No revolution/
Haku by ha2tim

This blog i will use one of my poems to explain my thoughts behind this Ha2ku. I have to mention that my youngest boy is at school age and I have been struggling with the fact that I have to enroll him in school. I want him to learn and I want him to have social interaction, but have to continually ask my self is it worth the price. I struggle with the fact that I have not developed a mechanism by this time to fit my sons needs, so now for Brother ha2tim it is back to work. Building the necessary institution to support family , communities and nations. So since i dont have a school for my son I will have to at least build or find a supplemental network so my son will get plugged into true education (pulling the knowledge from him).

Why do they want our children

we are told to educate and to socialize

but the truth is they are being programed for our demise

this shouldn't be a surprise, because our open enemy action have never lied

their actions have never lied

their actions have never lied

their actions have never lied

Why take the babies, why attack the babies-

strategically its easy to see

because if you program the babies

today you destroy tommorows revolutionary

lets keep it real; name one revolution in history

thats been fought by the middle class, elders, or retirerees

the fact is that our freedom is

in the hands of our babies

but they are in our enemies institutions

being programed to be lazy

and if they don't fit they are drugged and told their crazy

their actions have never lied

their actions have never lied

our open enemies actions have never lied

Don't you remember the days of slavery

those long and bitter days

seems to me on the dvd of life

someone has pushed replay

why do they want our children

haven't we been here before

but the education was working all day, and then watching adults beat until their backs

was sore

or their mothers raped before their eyes

and the trauma was encased in their souls until they died.

My goodness, our open enemies

action have never lied

their actions have never lied

their actions have never lied

our open enemies actions have never lied

but our actions lie to our kids all the time

we tell them to get a good job

and about ours we always whine

we tell them that success for them in this system was not designed

but give them to the same system as though we were blind

are we blind or scared

are we blind or scared

because our open enemies actions have never lied.
