⭐🕊️📜 “The Shepherds Who Stood for the Least”

In a land where the frightened hid under their sheets,

Where ICE roared through neighborhoods

and thundered down streets,

A circle of leaders rose up like a feast—

The faith-filled defenders

who stood for the least.

From temples and churches and mosques glowing light,

From synagogues singing

their justice-soaked rite,

They gathered with courage

to stop what increased—

The raids with no mercy

on child, home, or priest.

Pope Leo stepped forward

with calm, steady grace,

Saying, “No faith on Earth

makes cruelty a place.

The stranger is sacred,

not hunted or ceased—

Our duty is kindness,

our calling: the least.”

Imams linked their arms

as the dawn cracked awake,

Rabbis held Torah

with hands that won’t shake,

Pastors and elders,

their voices released,

Declared, “Love is stronger—

we stand for the least.”

They sheltered the families

that ICE tried to seize,

They guarded the children

who fell to their knees,

They marched into courthouse,

into street, into east—

To challenge injustice

and fight for the least.

They called out the cruelty

Trump’s orders had thrown,

The raids built for fear,

not for justice alone.

They faced down the storm

when compassion decreased—

Their courage a refuge

for all of the least.

And their message spread wide

like a lantern of gold:

“No soul is illegal.

No child should be cold.

Our God is not violence—

that lie is deceased.

We stand with the vulnerable.

We rise for the least.”

For democracy thrives

when the faithful unite,

When shepherds take action

for truth and for right.

In every tradition,

their love was released—

The leaders who dared

to stand for the least.
