Larissa Crawford: The Woman who Fights for Everyone

Larissa Crawford: The Woman who Fights for Everyone

She speaks for the land, the sky, the sea,

For people like her, you, and me.

Fighting for change, she doesn’t back down,

Her voice is loud, she won’t let us drown.

She fights for the earth, trees, and for air,

For those who need help, she’s always there.

With every step, she’s paving the way,

For a better tomorrow, starting today.

Fighting for the rights, she sees the wrongs,

She encourages people and makes them feel strong.

She helps people learn about their past,

For a better tomorrow, which is getting here fast.

Learning where you’re from, can help you know where your going,

A privilege that some people don’t get to grow in.

Mistakes made centuries ago; can still affect the people you know.

Her voice rises loud, like a thunderous sound,

A call for justice, echoing all around.

Although her past was rough, she proved to everyone that she is tough.

She persevered through it all, ensuring that she will never fall.

She’s not scared to rattle some feathers if it can change society for the better.

Whether its small, big or it goes unseen,

When there’s a challenge, she is keen.

Keen to be heard, keen to make a difference

To make everyone happy in their existence.

If she happens to hit the ground, she will get back up, safe and sound.

And hope it will make the right heads turn around.

Those who want to be heard, or learn about their past

She is eager to help them and make it a blast.
