She is a third world girl Living like a timid squirrel She needs hair, to live safely Ghettoes, Gulags, Auschwitz at every nook and corner Acid is boiling in disguise of hot tea Her dignity lies in her silence She has to bend her head to walk proudly She is a gazelle Not allowed to take a leap Hyenas had gifted her chain of freedom And there are posters in the streets: “A female terroristwanted…dead or alive” She had planted bombs of desire On her bare hands and visible legs.

She doesn’t want smooth skin
She is a third world girl Living like a timid squirrel She needs hair, to live safely Ghettoes, Gulags, Auschwitz at every nook and corner Acid is boiling in disguise of hot tea Her dignity lies in her silence She has to bend her head to walk proudly She is a gazelle Not allowed to take a leap Hyenas had gifted her chain of freedom And there are posters in the streets: “A female terroristwanted…dead or alive” She had planted bombs of desire On her bare hands and visible legs.
