Write a story about her

To whom who must not be named

Write a story about her
 
Perfect in everyway
Pure like untrampled dew
Eyes that holds emotions with glasses
Arms strong as though she’s a heavy waight
Heart that makes me want to be a better person
Write a story about her
 
Hands that have built a nation
Mind that has thought beautiful ideas
Ears that sleep awake to hear the cry of another
Thick Lips that speaks the future possibilities
Write a story about her
 
She is a visionary to put her country on a colonised map
While her brain is colonised by the struggles she faces everyday
she is a child left behind
As the world moves to every direction her world remain the same
Her Conection to the world is bleak
Microscopic bleak
 
While they shift to knew technology
she is left behind with third hand books in a third world
Fuming her brain with encrypted words
She is behind yet they expect her to run the race
yet the rules are bent they expect her to win
She’s like an old car in a race without gas
 
Write a story about her so that our ignorant government might take notice of her
Write the brutality of unfaireness against her
In the world where they give her false promices
But write not about her  as a failure
but as a forgotten promice of democracy
