her destiny
her fate
she cannot escape
her accursed life
as a beggar
on a wretched
male dominated landscape
her life the mullah
or the community leaders
have no time to reshape
for the sake of her children
she has to beg and scrape
as cold sweat
flows down her nape
her pain hidden
in the soul of her hijab
this poet undrapes
as she looks
into the eyes
of life's camera
agape
