Calling All Grand Mothers by Alice Walker

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.
