Lest We Forget Her

Their feet on her head
with all their mighty will,
they stand guard vigilant
so that she doesn't dare
open her eyes hesitant
in the Tartarus
they have built
for her "safekeeping",
in the holy name of
Allah, the most benevolent!
She now discerns how her hijab
has turned into shackles
that carry the weight of
millions of her generations
gyved to their fate,
the little piece of cloth
that could be swept aside
by a soft brush of her hands
has now become
viciously heavy like a millstone
and chains her arms and legs
that ayuthaayutham* hands
find unable to unshackle.
The tree of knowledge, but,
has now blossomed in her heart,
her voice has woken up
on her quivering lips
and her voice is her self
that echoes across the universe,
from one hand chained
rise a million hands free!
In the light that melts hearts
and wakes the skies up,
handcuffs and shackles
will dissolve into a shower,
the gory feet that trample on lives
shall turn into dust!
She will be blessed with
the placid glimmer of Lord Allah.
