In Celebration of Eritrean Women Freedom Fighters

"Nobody Knows"

Nobody knows....

Why she forced 

To carry a gun

After years...

Of domestic slavery

Auctioned for dowry.

Nobody knows...

Why she chose

To be a martyr

This paragon of peace.

Nobody knows...

Why she maimed

In this country

Where she is

Still adorned

For her beauty.

Nobody knows...

While in a rage

Escaped from her cage.

I really wonder!!!!

Was it for her beauty?

Was it for her right?

Listen, Mr. Wright

The time is not ripe.
