The Vulnerable Become More
The Vulnerable become more
More resilient, more experienced
More determined than ever before
The Vulnerable become more
More than a number, more than a face
More than a tragedy, more than a news story,
The Vulnerable become more
More than their history, more than too poor
More than compliant, more than you’re ready for
Because while the powerful go on living,
The Vulnerable become more.
Description
This poem is inspired by a black-out poem I had developed from a news article. With a focus on the theme of vulnerability and more, this poem acts as a “call to action” to empower those considered to be vulnerable.
