CONCERNING WAR
Beginning with the Battle of Blenheim, 1704
After Belnheim *
Why, ‘twas a very wicked thing’
Said little Wilhelmine;
“Nay.. Nay.. My little girl” quoth he,
“It was a famous victory” * Robert Southey 1774-1843
The one hundreth anniversary of the War to end all Wars,
After Flanders Fields **
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields. ** John McCrae 1918
In humility and the knowledge of 2000 years of warfare in a civilization governed by only one half of humanity , we must pause and think and pray for guidance.
The 21st century must mark two very important things in the history of the humanity of western civilization. The first is this - THE SUFFERING of the female MUST STOP . For 2000 years this suffering has consisted of the sudden and traumatic loss of her male partner, the love of her life, often never to be replaced; the loss of her beloved male children, never to be enjoyed in real manhood and the degradation of the productive and life-supporting earth around her through monstrous artificial instruments of war.
The second thing is the WILL to move on, beginning with listening to voices like this, honed after some awareness of the gravity as well as the beginning of hope,
Let us observe a moment of silence
For those who have laid down their lives
To bring our heritage to this fulfilment.
Where men recognize from whence they came
And who their brothers are upon this earth.
Let us pray for guidance now
In this new world, phoenix risen
From the ashes of the old. ANZAC the Play, Mary A. Mann 1971
From whence they came is the womb of the women who have borne them, nurtured them, taught them lovingkindness and given them inner strength and whose only natural lack of equality is in the fact that the female body is smaller than that of the male.
Her mind and her compassion have never sought the domination and the kind of one-upmanship and will to kill observed and documented in the deeds of the governing men who were these war originators. Deeds of destruction were so very foreign to her and so very incompletely understood by her, and so totally overwhelming to her because of her physical inability to stop them - resulting in the devastating losses outlined above. The losses also include other natural inhabitants of the magnificent creation we all call OUR planet.
Yet, as the phoenix rises, so too will human equality in governance begin. With THE GLOBAL PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY, every human voice that participates will be given its equal weight. This will ensure that DEMOCRACY. real democracy, will have its paradigm where nationhood and beliefs of whatever kind other than those of nature itself, are irrelevant. The natural stand-aloneness of the naked human conscience exercised in joy without fear, will equal that of every other participant living in harmony with the planet .
The Global Harmony for Humanity will follow automatically.
