Muslim Woman in a Mans World

Muslim Woman in a Mans World, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

she begs
while they pray
her words
they wont hear anyway
muslim male dominated society
mullah powered
fatwa generated
fire and brimstone
a woman has no say
born in a cradle
to her grave
she will go by the way
triple talaq
a sword hanging on her head
either way they slay
a mother a sister
a daughter
an aunt
she is a woman
you dont
need to repay
a toy
made of blood sinews
a bit of clay
her world stark
black and white
no shades of gray
