"The Morality Police" 

hair showing
not used 
for drying feet

life 
of a young woman 
innocent

tortured, 
brutally taken
and murdered 

for what?

in the 
controlling hands 
of the Morality Police -

monsters are real, 
they do exist
there and here

many demons 
subterranean levels 
under skin, reptilian beneath;

the matrix 
is crumbling 
demonstrating wins

women dancing 
freedom calls in 
cutting hair

setting 
a new world 
alight

escalating ignition
from females
fresh mind fields

awakening gateways
those portals 
that give birth 
to new life

solidarity 
in numbers
women for women

daughters 
of mothers 
mothers of daughters

revolution begins
now burning hijabs
cut their hair show their face

burying archaic thoughts 
of breaking inane
patriarchal tradition 

their smiles 
and their passion 
aflame - no longer, 
bringing shameful disgrace

they stand together
for the innocence
of a young girl, 
and their own

taken and lost
years of subservience
obedience 
breaks like a dam

now too great the despair

for the irreverent disrespect
delivered to women 
Life givers of men 
and their warm homes

women face 
their morality monsters
link their arms 
brave honour guards 

standing together 
no longer
alone -

all over the world
in their streets
other sisters, now 
watch and applaud

wave their arms
show their face
stand rebelliously 
on their chairs

courage in numbers
women stand together 
for Mahsa Amini 22 
and each other

killing their fears
