Oppression
In tumultuous times,
of cruelty and oppression,
she rose above the
slaved crowd,
through lashes and
stones of hatred,
by so called
guardians of faith,
she succumbed to gashes,
by society’s whip,
What right they have
to rewrite their lives
or bind them through
blinded beliefs.
Or clip their wings
before they unfurl.
I was reviewing A thousand Splendid suns , when the above thoughts came to my mind. Its a haunting tale of two women struggling and battling with life, in the pitiful state of Afghanistan.
very well said..
