WHEELED, WOBBLED OR WALKED!
The ULTIMATE goal is to get on the gurney in the maternity ward.
SOME WOMEN are WHEELED down to the birthing room.
Their water may or may not break, their feet may or many not be too swollen, their nauseousness may or may not impair their vision or the pain can or cannot be so excruciating that the only way to labor and delivery is to be wheeled.
SOME WOMEN WOBBLED down to the birthing room.
They are encouraged to wobble as the contractions intensifies and the discomfort amplifies.
SOME WOMEN actually WALKED down to the delivery room.
You see, not ALL women are the same, not ALL women get to the finish line the same way BUT THEY GET THERE, WE GET THERE, why? I AM WOMAN!
No matter how you get to LABOR AND DELIVERY, there is a gurney waiting on you, SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU.
LIFE, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL is the same.
Women WE are our children’s first teachers, examples and humanitarians.
Either WE correct their wrongs or applaud their wrongs.
Either WE exhibit love for ALL or we don’t a d children peep fakeness just as we do and go along to get along anyway.
Either WE make our children feel more like property rather than people or we don’t.
Either WE coddle our children EVERY TIME they fail by purchasing triumph, inclusion, success or ascension or we allow them to understand that FAILURE comes with living.
Either WE raise them to think EVERYBODY should love them, show respect to THEM and they are entitled to NOT return it or we don’t.
Either WE teach them where they are is not WHO they are or we don’t.
WOMEN, WE ARE THE REASON WE ARE SEEING WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY.
WE CARRIED EITHER JUST OR UNJUST
WE CARRIED LOVE OR HATE
WE CARRIED A SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR MENTALITY
WE CARRIED MENTAL DIS-EASES
WE CARRIED AB-USES
WE CARRIED COMPASSION OR NOT
WE CARRIED UNITY OR DIVISION
WE CARRIED GRUDGES OR FORGIVENESS
WE CARRIED THOSE WHO HATE AND CAN’T INTELLECTUALIZE THEIR REASONING
WOMEN, ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN CARRY THIS FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN BECAUSE OF THE LIES FED AND YEARS OF KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE WAS ALL ILL GSINED OFF OF THE BACKS, BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS AND DEATHS OF BLACK PEOPLE.
So, beit you were WHEELED, YOU WOBBLED OR YOU WALKED remember the ultimate GOAL was and is to birth, or rebirth but as we can ALL see today, THERE IS A STRONG NEED TO ABORT.
I AM WOMAN….
I AM INTRIGUED BY WOMEN THESE DAYS
I LOVE WOMEN THESE DAYS
I AM LOVING AND CRAVING THE CONNECTION WITH WOMEN BECAUSE OF OUR HISTORY AND SIMILARITIES:
SOME WOMEN BECAUSE OF THEIR HAIR
SOME WOMEN BECAUSE OF THE COLOR LOVE
SOME WOMEN BECAUSE OF THE MESSAGE THEY CHOSE TO DISPLAY
EITHER WAY, WE WOMEN ARE BECAUSE THESE MEN ARE
I AM ALSO AWARE THAT BEHIND EVERY WOMAN, THERE IS A STORY, AN UNTOLD STORY OF TRIUMPH, AN UNTOLD STORY OF CARING FOR THE YOUNG AND THE OLD, AN UNTOLD STORY OF A WOMAN JUST FINDING OUT THAT SHE HAS JUST CONCIEVED, THAT SHE IS EXPECTING, THAT SHE HAS MISCARRIED, THAT SHE IS UNEXPECTANTLY GETTING READY TO IN THE MOST SCARIEST MANNER, GIVE BIRTH, AN UNTOLD STORY OF OVERCOMING PAIN, HURT, DIGUST, HUMILIATION, ABUSE, VIOLATION AND MOLESTATION.
BEHIND EVERY WOMAN, SHE HAS AN UNTOLD STORY WHICH MAKES HER AN UNSUNG SHERO!
IT IS ONLY WHEN WE CHOOSE TO REACH OUT OUR HEARTS AND HANDS AND DECLARE SISTERHOOD, TOGETHERNESS, COMRADERY AND GENUINELY AND NOT POSTHUMOUSLY SAY…….WITH WE CAN UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MASK LIFE HAS FORCED HER TO WEAR!
How ironic Helen Reddy died on the day we paused life to watch a shit show called the FIRST face to face prezzidential “supposedly” debate from two incoherent, ineffective, incapable, antiquated, racist WHITE boys who careth about no one but WHITE RICH MEN?
How ironic Helen Reddy was diagnosed with DEMENTIA in 2015.
How ironic 5 years after her diagnosis she pass but she just didn’t pass BUT she passed on her life’s advocacy work, beliefs, desires, hopes and wishes during America’s
LOCK DOWN
SHUT DOWN
LOSS OF JOB
NO STEADY INCOME
DEMANDS TO PUT OUR AND OUR CHILDREN’S HEALTH AND LIVES IN DANGER; the reason she is famous is for the tunes she sang called I AM WOMAN the feminist a them.
As I conclude my homage, just one last thought:
Women are born with MATERNAL instincts.
Women hone that kind of MOTHER’S love that is strong, reliable and just unconditional.
Women have that strong MATERNAL protection and covering over ours.
Women have a strong way of showing that MOTHERING had nothing to do with a baby coming out of a woman’s womb.
Women know when women are newly expectant, in their first, second and/or third trimester and ready to be rushed to the delivery room, we can see just how bent out of shape women can be.
WOMEN STAY IN SOME WOMAN’S WOMB!
Women can be a MOTHERLESS child biologically, and yet will quickly:
Adopt
Be a surrogate
Stand in the gap
Add
Subtract
Connect
Be present
Be the lifeline and umbilical cord
Genuine women aren’t afraid to say LET’S, it really is a collaboration, team effort, it is ALWAYS in respect, love and unity.
Women, we only can look behind us and see where we have been and know where we have gone right and wrong but NEVER where we are heading.
Women, our calling is to SHAPE A WORLD, INFUSE MORALITY, VALUES, CHARACTER, LOVE, RESPECT, INCLUSIVITY AND COMPASSION INTO MANKIND.
WOMEN we conceive
WOMEN we nurture
WOMEN we protect
WOMEN we birth
WOMEN we raise
WOMEN we teach
WOMEN we expose
Women we allow or disallow
WOMEN we prepare for adulthood
THE VERY MEN who tell us that we’re the weaker vessel, we are inferior, we are to remain silent, we are not to be bold, we should not share our views, we MUST learn to lead from behind the scenes as we literally GOT BENT OUT OF SHAPE to have and raise them? #DFOH
Allow THAT to sink in.
She died leaving a lasting IMPRESSION and message to WOMEN, the backbone of america.
SHE ONCE AGAIN GAVE US AN ENCORE AND SUMMONED DOR THE WOMEN COLLECTIVELY RO UNITE, THIS I BELIEVE IS HOW WE WILL WIN.
