The Caged Virgin
(By Komene Famaa)A charismatic figure of arresting, hypnotizing
And tantalizing beauty
Astonishing, creative, humorous restraints
A potent social critic
Who cannot be tolerated
In her home state
An unflinching advocate
Of women rights and Religious freedom
Elegant, Distinguished, Reviled
Political Super hero
A champion of liberation and free Speech
With gimlet pair of eyes
Recounts the evolution of her beliefs
Possess ironclad wills
With extra-ordinary resolve
To fight injustice done
In the name of religion
Survived civil war
And female mutilation and brutal beatings
Lost a colleague and freedom to senseless killing
And religious extremism
On an open public and busy road
Forced into an unacceptable marriage
Society did not love and approve of.
