As the footballers raised their fists,
To support #BLM this week,
As many remember the bullying,
The words that hurt their Souls,
That crushed many a child in their belief,
The colour of their skin,
Their culture and traditions,
Their uniqueness in a World troubled by divisions and divide.
A reflection about children, BLM, Togetherness and Peace in a World that sometimes feels so cold.
