Mothers RISE UP and speak their names!
Or nothing will change, it all stays the same.

Sisters RISE UP and say NO MORE!
Our children won't die for your senseless war.

Aunties RISE UP, let your voices be heard!
Who is to stop them if we don't speak a word?

The silence is deafening.
We need a maternal REVOLUTION.
Now's the time to STAND as women.
It is the only solution.

"All the weary mothers of the earth will finally rest
We will take our babies in our arms and do our best
When the sun is low upon the field
To love and music they will yield
And the weary mothers of the earth shall rest..." ~Joan Baez

Tina
