Feel Proud Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Feel proud

Today is Ninth of March
-right after women's day

Feel proud
-have just seen tip of ice
-beneath this I am sure
-sits iceberg in the sea

But will I?
-will I live long enough?
-will they keep fighting on?
-will devil leave the arm
-of greed, cheat and lies?

I pray in my heart
-with a faith of combined
-First Nations' to Jewish, Christian
-and Islam to great Hara Krishna

Live or not I pray till you win
-win and change
-change for best
-good for all, peace for all, love for all

Oh dear I can't talk
-feel proud and proud and proud
-cannot fit in this bag
-the bag of my skin
-it is tight, is small!

Allow me to fly
-on the wings of the girls
-the three eighty eight
-in the House of Commons
-the Daughters of the Vote
-each giving her lecture
-questioning the Prime Minister

Will they be able to?
-climb and cross the TRC?
-keep holding to the torch of oneness?
