Emphasizing the need for reflection and accountability in parenting and governance. and expressing concern over the increasing violence among young people and questioning why youth are engaging in murder and incarceration. 

Hello again and welcome back. I have some harsh words to say about our society today and about the children we bring into this world. As I have just said, they are harsh words but please understand and remember, all of us humans are not the same and all our children are not the same either. This garden of life still bears good fruit, there are many untainted amongst us, and they are there all around us, righteous and true examples for us to learn from. 

Having said that, let’s now get right into today’s episode.   I am a person of seasoned years. Fortunate not to be afflicted with any noticeable case of memory loss.

Because of this I am able recount the days of my youth with a reasonable measure of clarity. I was not perfect in every way during my growing years and was at times in conflict with some of my peers, yes, there were occasions when I found myself in such situations, However, when in conflict those days, there was not one occasion in which I found myself wanting to cause anyone serious bodily harm in any way. As a matter of fact, it was quite the opposite, I have always been very handy with my fist and the ability to protect myself sufficiently, but I was never the instigator of a confrontation and most of my situations with conflict was in the protection of my friends and others who were being bullied because of their inability to protect themselves.

Yes, I have had the same amount of conflict in my childhood as any other child growing up in an inner-city ghetto, this period was the 1960s and so, being a carbonated person I also encountered a measurable amount of racist challenges but I have never on any occasion considered inflicting serious irreversible harm on anyone, so what is wrong today that so many of our young are murdering their peers? Why are so many lives being extinguished at a young age, not just those who have been killed, but also those who will be spending the remainder of their useful lives in a state of incarceration, enduring an existence in the company of some of the evillest people of our society.

The painfully Godless things occurring amongst our children today for the most part, is being regarded as thoughtless and violent youth knife crimes, the young are ostracised as mini-demons, reckless and evil Kids who should be kept away from at all costs. but is the answer to our present situation that simple, is it really that simple that the youth of today are just violent and murderous, or is the case that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? 

That might be a foolish question as I’m sure most human trees are of the convinced opinion they are the bearers of good fruit. Unfortunately, the soil of the ground in which we live these days is poisoned with crawling weeds of negativity and evil, and even though the adult trees are painted polished and attractively dressed, the grounds beneath their feet are dry cracked and quite unsuitable for growing beautiful fruit. The fruits we bear and who are not yet camouflaged in fake beauty are bitter, and we really should spend more time finding out why, perhaps we should consider investing in larger mirrors.

There is a phrase that says when you make your own bed you should be prepared to sleep on it, and it’s a phrase worth contemplating when thinking about the conduct of our children today. However, they’ve not made their own beds, we have made the beds they lie on, and these beds have been manufactured by the very people who we’ve put in charge of our lives. We have been sitting still and allowing these foolish power-hungry group of individuals (those we have empowered to govern us) to destroy rules we have developed and lived by for years on vote-catching whims, without taking them to task for the decisions they make, no matter how ludicrous those decisions may be.

They have made it illegal to punish our own offsprings for their obstinate refusals when given instructions, information given for protection in their growing years and their future lives. They have transferred the powers of parenthood to the children, taking away the ability of a parent to ensure a child is informed and instructed with the assurance they will emerge as adults who are thoughtful about their lives and the lives of others. 

Yes, I am aware those laws have been passed primarily for the protection of children who are abused by adults, the ones who are expected to know better, but as I have said, we are mostly all savages in suits, so would it not be more sensible to punish the overzealous savages who abuse their offsprings rather than be the masterminds of a whole new generation of overzealous savages as is the case today?

Parents are ordered not to discipline their children and institutions of education are told the same but once a child reaches an age where they are expected to act responsibly (and there is no present limit to that age) then the very group of individuals we have appointed to govern our lives punishes them severely with the message “You should know better”. I fail to understand how these children are supposed to know better when they have been allowed to go wild without any instilled knowledge of right or wrong. 

Even those amongst us with a confused understanding of that which we call religion should understand this phrase, even in that perpetual state of confusion they should be aware of the phrase; “God help the children”

Most countries including here in the UK there are laws to ensure discipline and rightly so, as without the possibility of being disciplined there is always a danger of reversing back to the state of savagery from which we humans have supposedly grown. “I say supposedly, because any thinking individual would know THAT to be a falsehood”. The truth is, no matter how much we fool ourselves we are still living as savages, and just as the well-presented painted and polished fruit on a tree rooted in dry and cracked ground, we adorn ourselves in clothing to camouflage our walk of self-deceit and shame, but we are still savages for the most part, but looking good and wearing fancy clothing.

When tasting the bitter fruit from a tree we spit it out unto the ground and when witnessing the bitterness of our own spawned fruits we spit them out of sight through incarceration and continue nurturing the life-sucking weeds around our own ankles.  We do not contemplate for one second their ways are the result of the grounds we have prepared for them, but in the results, we see ourselves as blameless. We are nations of Narcissists and that is not right. 

We have allowed the orchestration of a society in which children are completely desensitised about the gift of life as beauty and the reality of a painful death. This world in which we live, overflowing with Salam Alaykum, Amens, and the unwavering belief in Jesus and man-like Gods in the sky, why are we spawning desensitised spiritless and evil mini-demon drones of ourselves, scratching our heads and wondering why

Until next week I’m brother Joseph saying, thank you for being with me today and thank you for listening. Salam Alaykum may peace truly be with you until then.
