Fierce!
Art credit - Claire Martin, London, November 2022
Fierce for the hungry!
Fierce for the cold!
Fierce for the left-behind, weakened and old!
Fierce for the women,
and for the girls
who are stripped of their liberty
here in the world!
Fierce in defiance of
minds that are closed.
Fierce for the stories
they don’t want told!
Fiercely compassionate,
fiercely kind,
fierce in our advocacy for opened minds!
