Poem
I shared a post about the situation in Afghanistan (on social media). This is, however, a global challenge. Women deserve to be treated with dignity, kindness and respect. You can be the most powerful and feared "leader", but if you cannot grant everyone freedom, love, light, integrity and honour, you fail yourself and the highest power you believe in. 

Remember that the greatest power you can ever have is power over yourself. Be kind. Be just. Be honourable. Have integrity. Give your people love, light and freedom. Life and liberty is the right of every being.

Life and Liberty
By Michelle Morris

I know of no man or woman
Who would choose to be in a cage
There is not one child alive
Who dreams of being enslaved

For in each and every one of us
Is the spark of light and hope
Each of us wishes to be free
To make our own choices

I know of no man or woman
Who wants to live in a maze
Where you go through a labyrinth
And forever remain lost and dazed

No child every envisaged
A land where some are hidden
That merely being born a girl
Is a reason to be deemed a sinner

For in each of us, whether boy or girl
There beats a hopeful heart
To be accepted as we are
To be loved for our special spark

No one wants to be kept hidden
No one wants to live in a cage
No one wants a lack of freedom
No one wants to feel enslaved

Everyone wants to be accepted
Everyone wants to have a choice
Everyone wants to live a life of meaning
Everyone wants to have a voice

So, what are we doing to each other?
Why do people behave this way?
At what point do we appreciate each person?
At what point do we agree to pray?

For it doesn't matter what you believe in
It doesn't matter to whom you pray
God or Source or Allah or Universe
It remains a power beyond our sway

And if we listened really carefully
And if we were true to our integrity
We'd realise that we need to be good and kind
We need to give each soul life and liberty
