I Have My Scars You Have Yours

 I am a child of history; we all are in some manner or another. 

I sat listening to the strong, beautiful souls that came before me. 

I heard the tales of the things they did. 

Of the ones that in the short lives they were given, do much good, created beauty where they walked.  

Everything from marching to give women the right to vote, to burning their bras in Jackson Square! 

I am proud to have come from this Legacy of living our Truth. 

All the things that they lost, all the equally strong intelligent women we lost. 

Why?

Because there were reasons that were theirs, choose to have a pregnancy ended. 

The risk that was infection, death. 

The Fear of going to a doctor after?

Even when the fever was ravaging them. 

Due to my family line, I have the reasons, in their own hand. They range from being raped, to not being able to afford another mouth to feed. 

Does this sound cold? 

I do not care. 

THEIR choices.

THEIR reasons. 


HOW DARE WE LET THEIR SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN! 


How can any of us look the next generation in the eye? 

What do we say, "Sorry I tried they were too strong?"


FUCK THAT! 


I know that there will be many that do not agree with me. 

Once more let me say this:

I DO NOT CARE!


I have spent my time learning that one voice in the darkness can be enough.

Just to know that you are not alone. 

I want to scream and never stop. 

I fear that if we lose our voices, they will never return.

Every Fairy Tale Needs a Good Old Fashion Villian

 This night, I sit and think upon what the coming flashpoint is.  Why it has not already been? Come on, we protested less than the things that this imitation government has done to those around us. I think back to the leaders of the past, how in the 60's, there was a fear, but damn it, you went into it, and you pushed past it.  And guess what? The world was better for it.  This is not a call to arms so much as a wakeup call.  For we have been asleep far too long.  We have allowed those that think they are in power to make rules that serve only themselves. The ones that pay the most, that is all they are loyal to.  It makes me sick.  Does anyone else see the masks of those around them falling? I do.  It pisses me off. Not that we were ever really fooled.  You just had a feeling on some level that this was the rot that lay under their pretty lies. Maybe a look you caught, or a word, or fuck just a feeling. There are so many more of us than...

Snarky Gray English Accented Kitty

 When asked any question, I find I am editing the first 3 to 4 things I want to speak.  There are also times that I have found I am for some reason, in some unknown manner I am what causes others confusion.  At least I am not boring.  Here are some of the answers I have found leaving my lips as of late. {Nope there is no context on these, way more fun that way.} "Why are you here?" ~ Death sent me, left something behind. ~The cat told me you would be here.  ~ I am bored, there's a full moon, & I have had far too many pixie sticks. ~ You went to my funeral; I only wanted you to know what a huge waste of time that was. ~ I have visions, {just accept it, saves time} I either have to save you, or destroy you. Wanna have a caffeinated drink & figure it out? ~ I wanna pet the KITTY!  ~ You owe me a favor. {Why do they always run when I say this?} ~ Took a long drive, ended up here. So, who the fuck are you? ~ I lost my glasses; do you happen to have them?...
