“These children have been exposed to things no child should ever witness and I know I personally would risk life and limb to get my two precious babies out of that hell-hole.<\/strong>” ~ Jo Cox, RIP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Jo
Jo Cox MP RIP – murdered by right wing fanatic Thomas Muir of Britain First, an offshoot of the British National Party, this girls voice will live on, as a mother advocating on behalf of mothers fleeing conflict, she not alone risked life, but gave her life in the face of hatred.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No mere words suffice
\nFor a mother slain
\nJust a thought and prayer aught
\nOn the tongue remain.<\/p>\n

Her legacy will be
\nHer deeds and her words
\nAs impossible to silence
\nAs the singing of birds.<\/p>\n

In time there will be
\nWhere war fires now burn
\n– Her name will be remembered –
\nWhen peace there does return.<\/p>\n

Her voice may be silenced
\nBut death is not everything
\nAs one we shall, her song
\nIn chorus together louder sing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
