Proud of Her Mightiness
The adults pussyfooted and hemmed and hawed
Not calling him out for his atrocities or lack of integrity.
But a child came by, who understood the importance
and the integrity of her own inappositeness
So she let him have it, revealing his truth like no other
She exposed him, accidentally shaming the grown ups
Her comments were timely and pertinent.
As her mother, I was proud of her mightiness.
As a learner, I was taught by the best.
And she was only five at the time.
