The Next Leader

So gentle and kind, hands softer than the clouds

Stronger than a lion and more passionate than any one could imagine.

Brought life into the world and raised one to be the best one could be

Striving for better even though held down for so many years and continued to be held back from the better things in life

Asks for respect, but somehow ignorance succumbs it and once again is put on the back burner

Only seen as a sex symbol and not a leader

Disrespected and looked down upon day by day

Forced to be less and all we can do is hope and pray that certain perspectives will change and come to an end

The question of whether they will survive or whether they will overcome this is yes they’ve done it for years and will continue to make progress and build a better nation with better views

Because the next nation’s leader will set the steps to peace and tranquility

The next nation’s leader is one of them--a strong, sensitive, intelligent, and strong woman
