You can't see her face

No-one can

Hidden beneath her burkha

Her crime

To love

Forbidden affair

Shariah law

Stone to death

Human rights

Forsaken

When she and her lover were

Taken

And brought to

Justice

Bitter men

Religious fanatics

Hungry for blood

And revenge

Stone her to death

Her crime

To love

Not to hurt

Or kill

Or destroy

No

Just to love

And be loved

She is sentenced

To death

By stoning

Stones that are

Big enough

To cause damage

To hurt

To make her bleed

To break her face

Small enough

Not to end it too soon

They want to enjoy

The justice imparted today

January 2011

Allah said stone her

Buried in a hole

Knee deep

Can't run

Can't bend

Her crime to love

Take aim

The baying crowd

Of blood thirsty thugs

Manic smiling faces

To the camera look

Unashamed

As they throw

And smash

And throw

IT'S ALL OVER!

They leave

Back off

She's dead

Stoned to death

Her crime

TO LOVE.
