A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

Sharper Than Any Knife

Imagine if they took your loved one away
If she was the mother to your child, what could you say
Imagine the pain and suffering of not knowing when you would kiss and hold your loved one again

Imagine if your country didn’t care
If it’s a question of money that she’s still there
Imagine your daughter growing out of your sight

Tell me that doesn’t cut sharper that any knife

Imagine what life would be like for you
When they cast these lies, when they act so cruel
To keep a mother apart from her girl
To keep a wife apart from the man who loves her so

I am ashamed that she’s not home
I am ashamed of what we’ve become

Imagine Christmas when she’s not there
Imagine the pain, the bleak despair.

Nazanin deserves her country’s love
She deserves her daughters love
She deserves her husbands love

She deserves all our love.
