Islam´s SHAME
Shes crying behind a veil
Tries to ignore fear and goes to sleep
Just yesterday she was fifteen years
Now sixteen with a husband to meet
Since young she has been told
She is a girl and thus its the will of God
That she´s to be used by one thrice her age
Yet the first wife she´s not
Another place, another girl only nine
Raped by an uncle, pain as her innocence tears
Then blamed for corrupting him, a holy man
Then was killed by stoning.. who coares?
A face disfigured for not being covered
By whose will did the thrower of acid act?
Who gave cowards the idea that evil comes from
Beauty, and why didnt anyone react?
Is an innocent question by the neighour´s boy
A reason to end life, just for talking to a stranger?
It is called "honour killing"; the father says
Is this honour? Acting on ignorance and anger?
Wooried last words of the last prophet
Whispered last breath, forgotten by many a `Ulamas mind
"BE KIND TO WOMEN, BE KIND TO WOMEN..."
Whats wrong with Islam?
Have we gone deaf?
Have we gone blind?
Tries to ignore fear and goes to sleep
Just yesterday she was fifteen years
Now sixteen with a husband to meet
Since young she has been told
She is a girl and thus its the will of God
That she´s to be used by one thrice her age
Yet the first wife she´s not
Another place, another girl only nine
Raped by an uncle, pain as her innocence tears
Then blamed for corrupting him, a holy man
Then was killed by stoning.. who coares?
A face disfigured for not being covered
