Yet fertile as “Stop Flowing, Stop Flowing” by the Sigh
of Hajer
She stood with this family for even longer
Her love for them, her attachment
Likened to Mother Earth

Today she cries blood
Her ancient family has been snatched,
Call it rape or murder
The worst brutalities in her history
She sees it all

She witness all this
It is happening now
Yet she is silent
Her language is ancient unknown to most
Shedding tears of blood

Heralding Divine Mercy,
Likened to none other than Noah’s flood

Her heart has been pierced akin to genocide’ How dare
they commit these injustices’
‘My natural family, what’s happened to them?’
Who is listening, who is to defend this onslaught
against my honour?
