waning crescent, wolves at the door and circling helicopters

another 3.30 am rising
[need to get this keyboard changed - crap...]
just awoke after having a dream about my dad - has prompted me to ask a few questions to myself (and ultimately to him) about heritage and family tree...

there is/was/will be a helicopter circling overhead. Vulture of police, looking down, seeking someone wong. Will they ever circle to look for things right, to praise, or is our system always looking to punish, to correct, to change those wrong into our version of right. Education, criminalisation, institution... thank you blair, labour, tory, cromwell...

we come from out fathers and mothers. Two people who meet, encounter and create us. Life. Sexual union to bring forth creation. Usually a loving relationship allows for this life to come forth, but, as so common nowadays, more of a quickie in a bike shed/club/transit van and fingers crossed it doesn't happen.
*Family Planning.
Yes, lets plan the miracle of life. Lets timetable it, engineer it, push forward dates and, when inappropriate, terminate.
please note - I am NOT prolife, but prochoice. Knowing a few couples and a few individuals who have made this extremely tough decision, had to live with consequences of their choice, it is not soomething I'd wish on anyone. However, at the same time, everything happens for a reason, both the arrival of potential life and the choices we make, so...

We always live with our consequences and sometimes they niggle into or mind and affect our choices 29 years later on. I know my parents are proud of me for being who I am and will help me in any way, but, 29 years, single, childless, am I failing in my duty to continue 'the family line'? Godness knows, there are enough children in the world without intentionally* wanting to create more, but, as no loving female relationship is apparent to me, no planning of any type can occur right now.
So, respecting my elders, aware of their role in my life as parents, I look to them. They are both living in a world where their skills are overlooked, their hopes and dreams taken away due to crap governments and poor budgetting of society and I think: If they, with their abilities and aspirations, hopes and desires are not granted what they desire in life, what do I get with no dreams or aspirations?

Many people dream about winning the lottery for themselves. I'd love it to get money to look after them. They both deserve it, with their choices they've made in life, they've had harsh consequences to deal with and yet can still hold heir heads high, look the world in the face and say, "I've never intentionally set out to hurt someone. I've always done/I'm doing my best for my child/ren (mother/father). I am a good person."

This, though, doesn't seem enough. I've got friends who are religious. Different faiths, but all of them believe in a bigger picture, a plan as it were.
How does their crap in life fit into that plan? It's shaped me, true, but from a non ego-centric point of view [hard i know...], is it a matter of deservemenet or is it just fate/chance/choice?

The wolves are at the door. It's almos 4am. It's all over when the wolves break through the walls...
