will her vote change her life
will her life change her vote
her endless struggle
her pain her despair
on her forehead
that god wrote
a muslim woman
in a male
dominated society
her hopes they smote
the politician the mullah
her circumstances
who rocked her boat
cornered from all sides
society's most
famous scapegoat
hidden in a veil
she has nothing
more too emote
her detractors
from the wings
watch and gloat
as she lets out
a screamless cry
from her throat
her angst
her anxiety
her words
that they
misquote
