I Am Malala

Malala A child From a small village Of Mingora She wore a pink dress to look pretty While she studied, the passion of knowledge Her beauty Her heart shines in her quest of learning This child has the wisdom Of eleven kingdoms For this, they seek to destroy her Talibani bombs to most seem strong Only evil, attempts a child’s life Only Angels saved her very soul As she becomes a soldier Of learning, a burning light Is there a man to stand up to evil? To shine a light upon heinous crimes? Who of us has this will? I ask you fourteen times, who will save us? Malala A child From a small village Of Mingora They tried to send her to heaven God sent us one angel back So that may we learn yet again The innocence of love She has become the soul Of tolerance She has become the princess Of knowledge seekers In candle light we may prey That her heart shall remain and stay So that we may learn and grow And fight evil, by simply saying NO They shot a child in the head For going to school you should be dead The world wept at this cowardly act Who would save us from such evil deeds? Malala A child From a small village Of Mingora A child With the wisdom of many Kings A Princess with a heart of gold Who has blessed us all From velvet skies A smile to behold A work in progress, but dedicated to Malala Yousafza a young girl in Pakistan who stood up to the Taliban. She was shot in the head point blank range, knowing in advance this may happen. This also dedicated to her Family who have stood behind this young brave woman.
