White Flag
The struggles
ruthless
by unnatural
course of life
ending up fighting
till the end
Not a second
wasted
on surrender
hands held up
protecting
determined
we breath
to continue
at school, war
every day chores
taught not to give up
or abandon
Peace’s for the wicked
not much a dream
or thought for those
relentlessly beaten
involuntary slaves
of pleasure
Taken unwanted
forced labour
laying spread
their white flag
stained with blood
to keep from bleeding
Countries shredded
in conflict
consciousness
a whirlwind of rage
capturing the single
and married girls alike
Raise your flag
pure as white
to help those
gain back a future
stop the abuse
of our women.
Not a second
wasted
on surrender
hands held up
protecting
determined.

This year, Radio3 Serious request raises awareness for those women in areas of conflict and war. For those girls and women who are abused and sexually assaulted when captured, friend or foe alike. Hoping people will give a little to help those in need and secure a protected environment.
It is one of those stories we hear so little of and easily forget. Abuse is never right and that should be the end of it. This action is done by Dutch radio DJ’s who are locked up in a glass house for a week. Not saying we need donations but at least give it a thought and stand up for those abused. Because this maybe in war entangled countries, it could also happen at your neighbours.
Christmas is about standing together and being as one. Smiles and being safe as a family.
Make these women smile as well and feel safe as well.
Best Wishes
