Prisoner 650

That woman

The Grey Lady of Baghram

Prisoner 650,

Aafia Siddiqui.

Although we are strangers to eachother,

I ache

At her sorrow,

At her punishment

Unconditionally,

My sister in faith

My sister in heart.

My fellow Muslimah raises her begging bowl for freedom.

All sense of womanhood, pride and self-respect

Snatched.

Will this be her predicament,

Is this her destiny...

As one Ummah

We have fought

We have defeated

Let us do this

Again.

Just for you

Prisoner 650

Our Grey Lady of Baghram

Sister Aafia Siddiqui
