For Baba

Calling All Grand Mothers
We have to live
differently


or we
will die
in the same


old ways.

Therefore
I call on all Grand Mothers
everywhere
on the planet
to rise
and take your place
in the leadership
of the world


Come out
of the kitchen
out of the
fields
out of the
beauty parlors
out of the
television


Step forward
& assume
the role
for which
you were
created:
To lead humanity
to health, happiness
& sanity.


I call on
all the
Grand Mothers
of Earth
& every person
who possesses
the Grand Mother
spirit
of respect for
life
&
protection of
the young
to rise
& lead.
The life of
our species
depends
on it.


& I call on all men
of Earth
to gracefully


and
gratefully

stand aside
& let them

(let us)
do so.


~Alice Walker
