The Woman Behind Burka
Why are you hiding your beauty
behind that net of blue burka?
Why do you allow yourself
to walk on the streets like a ghost
without a face and right to exist?
Why do you allow yourself
to be imprisoned by Taliban`s iron fist
on how you as a woman should behave
and dress before the eyes of the public?
Why do you say yes to be hidden
without a face and your right to exist?
Show your face as window
to your identity as a person.
Free yourself from layers
of clothes in the searing heat
Walk on the street with
peace, tolerance and openness.
Share your grace and beauty
Redeem your own dignity.
