Reflec�on
What must it be like to be hounded by the press?
To be cri�cised, dehumanised and be unable to rest.
To have people define you, bring you down, minimise your life.
To wake up each day stressed, depressed facing trouble and strife.
Why do you keep on harassing this wife, mother, professional and
friend?
Her partner’s mother lost her life as they harassed her to a fatal end.
She is human, she has a heart, her diversity should be valued instead
of causing fear
Watching this lynching, hounding, dismantling reduces me/her to
tears.
We are all valuable people, no one is beter or bigger than another.
Leave her alone to be a wife, a friend a professional and a mother.
But out of her life and leave her be.
Her private life has nothing to do with you or with me.
