Hush!Let me hear them talk
They are deciding my destiny
They are looking for the answers today
Tomorrow the Questions will be asked
Tch! tch! tch! Poor girl
I can hear them say
As I look from up above...
Hush!
Let me hear them talk
My mom is sobbing in the corner
Daddy with his face down in his hands
"What did she do?"
"Oh! Why did this happen to her?"
I can hear them say
As I look from up above...
Hush!
Let me hear them talk
Next to my body down on the floor
People are mourning, I can see
Some are standing close to the door
He should be punished for doing this to me!
I can hear them say
As i look from up above...
Hush!
Let me hear them talk
"She didn't come back from the park"
"It was late than usual, so we went to look"
Her naked body thrown behind the big bush
Stained in blood there her body lay
I can hear them say
As I look from up above...
Hush!
Let me hear them talk
"Cannot arrest him, There's no case!"
He said, the man with the cuffs and gun
"Don't muddle with them, you don't know him"
"Forget about the case, he's a rich mans son"
I can hear hem say,
As I look from up above...
Hush!
Let me hear them talk
Poor dad is shaking and begging
Hands crossed and tears dripping
She was destined for this end!
This is what God had decided
I can hear them say
As I look from up above...
Hush!
Stop chanting Almighty's name
Angels, Leave my hand, let me go,
Was I so bad that almighty loved me not?
Why did he let this happen to me?
Am I not his child? Then why me?
Why thee hate me, and love him?
Abuse me, slaughter me, is that his right?
Hush!
Let him answer to my questions
When will you end this Man Vs. Woman fight?
We both are your child, then why this inequality?
He whom I create, he who I bear in my womb,
Shall no more rape my body and rip my soul!
A tear then trickled down Almighty's eye,
He looked down, waiting for all the men to reply...
Hush! Hush! Hush!
No More I say...

Hey Saher,
Very poignant. However, few quibblings.
I think you can do away with the last stanza. The poem can end at the penultimate stanza. Further, it should be "Stained in blood there her body lay" and not lied. :-))
Cheers

u have again taken the social cause , u c in your busy life apart from your very own stress, you take time to write about the social cause.Thats why i am such a fan of your pomes , trying to put into words the unexpressible the feelings of someone who has just lost her world , thats so beautifully done but if you could write something on how these women can actually re-enlighten their lives , it might help a soul or two
cheers
