'' Your Principles You Refuse To Betray '' Poem by Bri Mar

The mighty Taliban tried to kill Malala,
By shooting her in the face and head,
As everything they do is sanctioned by Allah?
Could he really want an innocent child dead?

A girl trying to promote women’s rights,
As well as a good education,
Suddenly these cowards have her in their sights,
This deserves the world’s condemnation.

This is terrorism at its very worst,
Carried out by murdering scum,
With evil intent they are truly cursed,
Their actions would leave a killer numb.

They are all so brave they refuse to come out,
It’s with shame these people are empowered,
The world knows so let there be no doubt,
Their actions are those of a coward.

Malala lives on and refuses to hide,
For that she’ll forever stand tall,
A girl with principles who fills us with pride,
The hero who refuses to crawl?

May she live a long and fruitful life?
Never hiding behind a mask,
Ridding our planet of discrimination and strife,
In truth it’s not too much to ask.

She epitomises the spirit the Taliban lack,
While separating fact from the fiction,
Though these cowards would shoot Malala in the back,
They will never destroy her conviction.

To both the young and old you’re courage inspires,
Keep fighting and never give in,
By fulfilling the future generations desires,
They’ll ensure this battle you’ll win.

Malala the world’s listening to your every word,
You have shown all others the way,
Though terrorism is cruel and totally absurd,
