Khadija Islam Poems

But if we do not open our minds and see
We will be lost fighting
For the cause
That's never meant to be.
...

They told us about terror,
And they told us about freedom.
They told us that if we do not stand for ourselves
We will be doomed;
...

Let's talk about freedom.
A word solely made
for the white kingdom.
Don't get me wrong
...

I took her pride,
her respect,
her dignity away.
Because I could.
...

I sat there in an ambulance
dazed world and unknown words.
i sat there watching
something unknown and distant;
...

I asked for too much.
I asked for things that do not exist anymore.
I asked to be left alone.
I asked to be able to help my son.
...
