Her Tears by Pius Ujadi

Far in the North i hear her cries
She is being forced to marry
Too young to marry
Her happiness taken away

Far in the South i hear her cries
She was accused of sorcery
Beaten with weapons of hatred
Stripped of her dignity

Far in the West i hear her cries
She is forced to perform unclean rituals
Battered all over with cultural beliefs
Her right to a peaceful environment violated

Far in the East i hear her screaming
She has been circumcised
Blood dripping everywhere
Love has become an aberration to her
