OpEdNews - Diary: We are lousy parents. All of us. Again, we wait.

Our children are watching us. And learning that we don't care.

::::::::

We are lousy parents. All of us. Again, we wait.

We have forgotten our children. Again. And again. And again.

Hamas fires rockets. Israel bombs.

Obama waits. Bush waits. Egypt waits. We all wait.

We are lousy teachers.

All of us.

What are we waiting for?

We are promoting and birthing more evil in our silence.

I am so sad today. Our children are forgotten. Again.

Todd Rundgren

Half of me wants to knock you out
Half of me wants to tell you that I'm sorry, so sorry
Meanwhile, half of the world wants to scream and
shout at half of the world
Just like you and I
Just another fact of life
We plan and we scheme
'Til there's nothing left of our little dream
But half of the time I can't decide and
Half of the time I'm petrified
I want to change the world
I want to make it well
How can I change the world
When I can't change myself
Try again tomorrow
I'd love to change your mind
Capture your citadel
How could I change your mind
If I can't change myself
Try again tomorrow
Both of us want to win this fight
Both of us think the other is mistaken, so mistaken
Meanwhile, everyone wants to take up sides
So everyone helps us to fall apart
Just another fact of life
It's hard to play fair
And it's so easy to pretend to care
But if nobody wants to share the blame
Then everyone gets more of the same
If I want more peace in the world
Then I must make peace with myself
If I want more trust in the world
Then I've got to trust in myself
If I want more love in the world
I must show more love to myself

peace
