Do not disturb a father's promise
to a man
three times the size,
of age as tradition requires.
Do not be stunned at a rapist's gold
who seeks
his child virgin,
or even a mother's approving eye
to bloodied sheets her shamed pride.
Family honor-must-be- fulfilled.
Yet what duty of cowards can protect a young life?
who shall
spoil the
untouched,
and
naive mind.
And what radical deviant cries that her vows were lies,
a sanctioned marriage under desquise.
To delude the chance of hope--
Najood Ali
made her plea before a
court
of empathy.
"Divorce my torment and misery,
I am not made for property."
Do not force--righteous anger,
As a stone disturbs the water.
And so radical is she, that inspired a community,
Love is not a dollar.
Deprive one of her scholar
in place of
pre-mature mother,
makes not the smiling bride.
And why shall daughters
sacrifice
the chance to grow with
laughter?
Tis is the world,
a male-order.
And so the Islam burns her flesh
to purify
the abused mess
Take away all her
unrest,
This flaw a
human disaster.
