The devil himself must have designed our destiny
We can’t find a reason why else it would be
That not just once but repeatedly we find
While the world makes progress, we get left behind
Barely from the middle ages we had emerged
Now a new tsunami has left us submerged
In the abyss of a bloody ocean
Without any warning, without premonition
We are mere puppets in invisible hands
Decisions made by important folks in distant lands
Turn our lives backwards in the blink of an eye
Here we are, before being able to comprehend why,
Back to living under the shadow of fear
Back to shedding silent faceless tears
Suddenly we find ourselves struggling to comply
With archaic rules, we scramble to buy
Burqas- those head to toe coverings designed
To subjugate our souls, our bodies and minds
Forget about any aspirations we might hold dear
It is for our lives and safety that we fear..
**
Why have our stoic Afghani women
To suffer repeated violence been chosen?
We hope against hope there is some justice reserved
For us-for our aggressors to get what they deserve
