The Morality Police
"The Morality Police"
hair showing
not used
for drying feet
life
of a young woman
innocent
tortured,
brutally taken
and murdered
for what?
in the
controlling hands
of the Morality Police -
monsters are real,
they do exist
there and here
many demons
subterranean levels
under skin, reptilian beneath;
the matrix
is crumbling
demonstrating wins
women dancing
freedom calls in
cutting hair
setting
a new world
alight
escalating ignition
from females
fresh mind fields
awakening gateways
those portals
that give birth
to new life
solidarity
in numbers
women for women
daughters
of mothers
mothers of daughters
revolution begins
now burning hijabs
cut their hair show their face
burying archaic thoughts
of breaking inane
patriarchal tradition
their smiles
and their passion
aflame - no longer,
bringing shameful disgrace
they stand together
for the innocence
of a young girl,
and their own
taken and lost
years of subservience
obedience
breaks like a dam
now too great the despair
for the irreverent disrespect
delivered to women
Life givers of men
and their warm homes
women face
their morality monsters
link their arms
brave honour guards
standing together
no longer
alone -
all over the world
in their streets
other sisters, now
watch and applaud
wave their arms
show their face
stand rebelliously
on their chairs
courage in numbers
women stand together
for Mahsa Amini 22
and each other
killing their fears
