Aby M'Baye Poet Free verse

Jina Masha's Smile

Everything can stop 
Now 
All at once 
She'd start her day singingDistributing her joy to all who crossed her path 
She gave her love by dancing 
Riding through town like a moving wave 
Everything can stop 
All at once 
Now 
Meeting the wrong person 
At the wrong time 
For a misplaced veil 
Revealing her rare beauty 
Forbidden in the name of those who think they are God 
Stealing life in her name 
All at once 
Now 
All can stop 
Except for her smile that awakened the world 
Now a hymn to 
Women 
Life 
Freedom.
