Bangles

The sound of bangles rattle the ground.
Lockets explode and make an eerie sound.
They have killed another woman-
for going to the market is not allowed.
The Taliban out spilling blood like rabbit hounds. 

Shabana danced and paraded around.
Her earrings lie there on her body,
where she was found. 
Benazir with her beautiful jewels and crown,
was viciously and violently struck down.
Her speech to defeat the evil and bring them down-
left her a target and in her blood she drowned.

More and more are dying in public crowds.
Their sickness spreading over the world-
like a black cloud.
So if you hear bangles drop to the ground-
take heed like Malala warned:
Freedom is being stripped and bangles,
lockets, and earrings are not allowed!

If you want to resolve a dispute or come out from conflict, the very first thing is to speak the truth. If you have a headache and tell the doctor you have a stomach ache, how can the doctor help? You must speak the truth. The truth will abolish fear. ~I Am Malala
