The Power of Knowledge

 
A bullet is loud
But the voices of many can be deafening

A gunshot to the head didn’t stop her
When she was just seeking an education
And the men with hatred in their heart
Awakened a hero’s noble vocation

Now she preaches and teaches empowerment
She’s against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism
Hopeful that the future will be peaceful and bright
It’s a struggle as many still face so much racism

She stands up and fights for women’s rights
On the teachings and foundations of many greats
Bringing light to young girls all around the world
A catalyst for change for those in dire straits

She’s the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Wise beyond her years with a clear goal
Some may say not all heroes wear capes
But Malala with her call surely fits the role
