Victorious in this battle
But the war is never won
Our spirit never torn
With zeal we shall ever burn;
Regard us with scorn
But we shall fight on
Satan's camp we shall ever rattle!

Nigeria's Leaders
Thee shall see them as Nigerians
In their minds grow the seed of corruption 
With their hands they planted that seed
In their hands watering cans 
They used to wet the germinated seed 
With their hands they harvested the fruits
With their legs they scattered the seed..

At first
Threatened.
Then
Connection
We shared our sorrows
Our secrets
We took care of the children 
Aziza and Zalmai
We shared our love for them
After having a girl
Rasheed beat her too
The only one he liked was Zalmai
The only one who wasn't abused
Got gifts
A larger portion of food.
We still loved Zalmai with all our hearts....

My first happiness
True happiness
I was pregnant
Rasheed, my husband, was pleased
He wanted a boy to replace the son he had 
The son that had drowned
He was careful with me
Caring
He took me to the bath house once
I bled
I lost the baby and every child after that
Rasheed hated me for it
The beating started
Nothing was right
I tried
I tried so hard....
