So much is going on at present it is almost hard to keep up. Alongside the negative news about Covid and many countries in the world etc we continue with our attempts to relaunch the Greens locally, and internationally there have been the Earthshot awards which have been inspirational and positive. I felt very pleased and a little smug to realise that a small group I donated to back in 2018, Coral Vita was not only still going, which was a relief, but that it was one of the winners so that is really positive news. One of my tenants best friends has just become one of the joint leaders of the Green Party, so really hope he can help the party break through and make a difference. I am over three quarters of the way through my short Introduction to Permaculture Course, put on by Wyld Edges, and now have to do some design work to complete the course, so writing this as part of displacement activity. And at last more locally the allotments seem to have more support. I was up there today with my neighbours planting bulbs, so that was lovely. And having fallen over and broken my guitar teacher's guitar, I finally have a guitar of my own, as he kindly found me one. I have even written a song inspired by the racist attitude of my son's headmaster who attacked my son for his beautiful cane rows and when my son refused to give in to his bullying, the school found a way to punish him, by not allowing him to flower educationally. If I can work out how to play the tune I can try and upload it but just present the basic lyrics for present.
My baby's hair don't cut it.
Oh my baby's hair don't cut it.
My baby's hair don't cut it.
That's what the big man said.
You can't do that in my school
Don't care that it looks cool
I'm the one that makes the rules
That's what the big man said/says.
Don't care what your muma says.
Don't care what your popa says.
Don't care about the folks back home.
That's what the big man sayZ.
My baby's hair - reprise or add additional verses as you want.
And from a mum's point of view, how wonderful to have my son's beauty captured in a wacky ad for a Swedish company. His previous ad has been viewed over a million times. In this one he is the main lead and it has been viewed by almost half a million people. Extraordinary.
So you placed your child between yourself and their school headmaster ("what your moma says", "can't do that in my school") over a hairstyle, when a wiser parent might have balanced the conforming 39 school weeks against the 13 holiday weeks plus 52 weekends in which their child could have expressed themselves fully and flowered without compromising the school education. Whether the child was naturally academically inclined or not is another aspect. A sorry back story.
ReplyDeleteStrange that such anger/hostility should be present today. Perhaps playing the guitar will release all such feelings and free up.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to know that N has found his home regardless of previous troubles
ReplyDeleteFrom blogger's very frequent pleasure flighto to green party activism? Horror at the proposed tax reduction for internal flights? Huge carbon footprint from documented trips, so a spoof surely. Very funny.
