I spoke up a few times, someone called me a nasty name, someone else said I was right; but, "the squeaky wheel..." Good advice.

I want everyone to speak up. Fear keeps us silent sometimes which is why bullies often "win".

Yes indeed! Too much silence when we know something's not right is not good :)

People should be tolerant, but never of injustice. Your poem has a message that should be heeded, and then, hopefully, more will speak up. Nicely done, Caren. :)

Women as you say still take a back seat, but not so many anymore - one can't generalize, I respect a person at face value and intellect, no matter where they come from no matter their gender or political beliefs in this global village, I never discriminate. Hope all will do the same. Well penned my friend, who writes so well about any topic. Hugs and blessings,
