acid on her face

in response to this
(still a little obtuse, sick of editing will come back to it later)


On her scary walk past bigots
Allah's mercy diminished
Face to face with ignorance
Our shadows reek of blood

Each lie in bloom is fear

Collective thoughts are written
While lies parasitic gripping
At fanaticism's prism
Collide the scope within the living

The future brought us here

Tradition and bravery's friction
Keeping extinction from fruition
She walks instead of wishing
Strangling misconceptions of freedom

We think our destiny is clear

Tears and acid burn
More than the beating of
The Sun
She gave more than I
Would think to give
So why am I the One?

Slow remission of burn wounds
Torture beams beneath her veil
Trekking through the desert
melting
Dwarfing Dante's hell
