Sisters of the Desert
Where women are chatel
Is a sisterhood of rebels
Those they kill
End up in Hell
Instead of Heaven
With 71 virgins
Is a sisterhood of rebels

Author's Note
In a vast sea of misogyny dwell a tribe of Amazon warriors. I'm ashamed that my nation abandon the brave Kurdish women who fight injustice for all of us. To them I dedicate this poem.

And a hearty thanks to you, Snuggles... I can definitely relate to that...
waiting here
for the dark time of year
to finally go back the other way... Hugs, Ely

I feel the same shame in regards to the Kurds, snuggle. It was a heartbreaking betrayal.
Wonderful dedication.

Often the world forgets that women take up arms too to defend their homes, their lands, their rights. This piece serves as a reminder of their fighting spirit. Excellent piece sir. In a way I'm a little speechless by this.
