Too strong , she was
they said...confrontational
they said she was
not a wimp , not subject
to be pimped, standing
tall among the small
ready to lift up or lay down
those who are opressors
or oppressed...She always
gave her best!

Too strong , she was
they said...prone to get
up in your face, bad memories
to erase, not subject to
societal rules , of not
rocking the boat, not known
to gloat, but known to challenge
a system gone amuck...
she didn't give a $#%#
Long on survival skills
She went through Marine
Drills, escaped the lure
of cheap thrills.

Too strong, she was
they said...not easily
persuaded to change
her mind, known to leave
slow witted folks behind
touching hearts and mankind
Feeling Harriet's blood course
through her veins...capable
of more than just a sweet
refrain...Shouting freedom's
song...Too strong!
