Wake up.

What has been proven throughout the course of the US is that none of these systems of governance that have been created by men and driven by money, business, and/or capitalism work.

What did work until insecure & fearful — power hungry men who created checks and balances in order to check their power and put us now all in a place of stratified stagnation were matriarchal societies where LOVE was believed in and The Goddess, not just The God was seen as sacred, and or not seen as a side piece to the God.

We used to live in a society that created opportunities to hold onto what is good for the tribe — people, families and a collective AND to create peace amongst all tribes. This goes way back y’all, not just here in the US but across the globe. Look up stories about the Indus Valley.

But seeing we suffer from a lack of true community — real deep conversations about real life and human shit, in local spaces, we lack the leadership to represent us at round tables to negotiate from a space of awareness, empathy, and kindness for all people.

Plus our (addicted) bodies have been so tuned, trained, & entertained by any type of drama, that this fighting of red and blue, left and right, black and white, men and women, and all spaces in between has us all acting like junkies, addicted to media and the highs and lows of conversations and actions as people continue to lose their lives because of our inability to come together to see a greater picture.
