The Afghani Girl
July 21, 2010
A young girl,
Her face hidden beneath scarves,
Watches her world fall apart.
A boy throwing
Jagged stones at his sister,
No respect left for her.
Battle noises in
The distance,
Men meeting God or Allah.
Her mother falls
To her knees,
Begging her husband not to strike her.
And the girl,
Wrapped in scarves watches,
And she listens, as her life leaks from her eyes.
