Islam's Flower

The Taliban has beaten me and left me for dead But I am stronger then they know, There is no burka that can cover me so Or hide what I think or un-say what I’ve said, Allah be praised for He made the bed From which I give these men life to grow, to Live, to breathe, and blaspheme God so – They've killed my husband, now send me off to strangers to wed. The Taliban has beaten me and left me for dead But I have more power than they know. This burka of fear will be shed From God's true mercy, I am Islam's true flower still to grow! M C Biegner
