Desmond Tutu dies

With the death of Tutu today I feel like it's the end of a time when we (humanity) were kinder, gentler and more loving. An age when we believed unity is strength - now SA and the world is divided without an interest in working toward unity. There is an ideological war brewing. A distrust of government, science and institutions. 

In the UK Brexit is still having an effect. In America its Antivax against any government attempts to control the virus. Europe is returning to an age last seen early last century - fascism and believe that cultural purity and Christianity are threatened by migration. Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine and China is threatening to exert its will - militarily, over Taiwan.

Our only hope is that young people will show the way and work together to move us forward to a more caring world.

You don't want to know me


You don't want to know me.
See my fight and  my struggle

I am weak seduced by peaceful rest

Know me - before I slip

Before the one way trip

I  want you to know me

 

You don't want to know me

You don't fight to know me

I long for you to see me

Know me - before that day

Instant me, I can't be

Take time to unravel me

 

You don't want to know me

Afraid I may surprise you?

Walk this journey to know me

Connect  with me
See my soul

Remember me
