A Call to Arms

Mothers-

Embrace the children of the world. Love them. Hold them close and tell them the truth: They are brothers and sisters, and the whole wide world is their home. Tell the truth to the children: They are citizens of humanity, not limited to town or country. Tell them that their name is Tomorrow, born of their father Yesterday and their mother Today.

Woman-

Tell the truth to the children and release them. Finally. For they do not belong to you, nor you to them. Damn the lie! The division! Let them go. Let them take their places in the great big human family. Let them heal one another.

Sisters-

Go now. Tell the truth to the children: All that really matters is love. Day by day, Sisters, one by one, by way of each precious child, give birth to a whole new story.

Daughters-

Stand. Sound the battle cry, a call to loving arms! May we tell the truth to the children until our very own arms, our enduring embrace, become the only protection, the only defense, that humanity ever really needs…

ONWARD!
