Fatima Extinguishes Freedom

Culminated cloud cluster promotes ghost apparition 
Robed in purity unearthly, portrayed as only option 
Virgin white vision given blindly adopted approbation 
Vulnerable youngsters succumb to scare doctrine


Commanding loyalty to solitary living love, avoidance
Real application sways wavering suitable standard 
Message to refrain from rambunctious enjoyed by us
Marries happy with demean mist canon demanded


Susceptible pious victims of supercilious Lady Fatima
Follow sparse path shadowed in shame, illiteracy
Denied desire, myth written inhibits discerning latitude 
Dogma's reason thinly rationed induces celebacy


Discipline within cage fears imminent mire of purgatory 
Unlocked box predicts scrutiny of scare strung thesis
Indulging choice embraces mortal meridian exploratory 
Ridicule of able arm splint, creed's hypnosis releases

I wonder how this is related to Fatema any Fatema? Because it seems to talk of a scare doctrine, ghostly white apparition, asks to refrain from rambunctious behaviour under a supercilious lady, promoting illiteracy, celibacy, all factors and features not common to Muslim women nor related to Fatema. Is it about nuns in white?

... Opinion.... Obviously, poets should hold a point. A better write has a stance, rather than a sway between two...
