What kind of land has this become
where little girls can no longer walk and play
safe and free from rapists?
In the mind's eye of the people
the spokes of the Blue Chakra have come asunder
replaced by the little girl Asifa's
bloody mutilated vagina.
Just wait and watch
how from it will sprout
waves of fiery blooded lava
drowning in molten moulds
the brazen demons of our times.
Brazen demons: your time is up!
Your time is up!
