Shero

Truth is
All women are sheroes
So here It goes;

A woman
Defeating all foes
Whilst spreading her wings
To shelter the innocent,
Broken ones and fallen kings
She upholds the home front
All attempts to stop her
Prove to be blunt
She fights lovingly for everyone’s peace
And would rather die standing
Than live on her knees
Injured from every good intention
She will never forsake her mission
To feed,
Lead
Exceed and
Succeed
She has clear vision
She shapes new life yet
Does not fit the mold
Nonetheless she can’t be controlled
When times go dark
In this survival we call life
She turns on the light
As the clock is ticking
Seconds, hours and years
Keep sticking
She sets raised pace
For much needed change
For all human race

For every shero
sisterhood and solidarity
Go hand in hand
It’s time to woman up and
Get your head out of this quicksand

As a brave shero
She turns tragedy into triumph
Btw she already spoke
My only task is
To quote
