Rip Roaring Women Tribute To Pakastani 14 Yr Old Taliban Victim

RIP ROARING WOMEN Some of us are just born quirky Run from kitchens Hide From the housewifely tasks Read hardy boy books Sitting in an apple tree Some of us collect bruises instead of dolls Some of us Want to fly Want to climb away the fear Of never fitting in yearning for new books instead of gowns Here’s to you Malala Who wants to fly into the world of books Pakistani child, 14 years old Taliban hit, yet still survives defied bullets May you live on to climb with us We are still climbing Reading Jumping Flying Struggling but climbing into Joyful lives of contentment

Outstanding tribute poem for Malala. As a teacher I greatly value education, but as a human, I cry for her hurt.
