safi Posted August 21, 2004 If she survives...By Safi Abdi It's her fate to suffer the foolish The only glue cementing the ruins A dried flower without the care. She feeds the baby And keeps the man on board, too. An expert in ducking bullets Graceful to the core Though offended, Wholesale, The woman In the flowing dress's a veteran, Voiceless in a tragedy absurd. Her plight no hairs ruffle Her hopes neglected remain Overwhelmed by men Sightless in the daylight She hawks her wares In the sunlit mess; Knowing God counts her woes. If she survives this reckless age It's no thanks to the man on board. Copyright @Safi Abdi...2004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
