Women In Black

She stood in a sexy black number
Looking for her prey
Red lips enticing the night
Along swerves a Mercedez
He blew her a kiss…  hop along…
Wow she thought it is pay day.

She was dressed in black coat 
Matching black hat and pumps
She looked over her husband’s grave
I am a black widow no more 
Silently slipped her arms around
the  flamboyant lover she found

She was dressed in black
From head to toe
A hidden beauty in the Arab world
A silent revolution she thought 
And this Sacred Hijab
To wear no more.
