A Haiku about Afghanistan's First Female Rapper
Kabul at twilight
Soosan Firooz's first rap song
lingers on
note: With her rap song, Suhrab Sirat, Soosan Firooz is making history as Afghanistan's first female rapper. Listen to Her song, https: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=1Gwi7SNiTx0
The opening lines are as follows:
Hear my stories and hear
Hear my sorrows, my sadness
Hear the story of my displacement and homelessness
We were lost, we were lost, lost around the world
War drove me out of my homeland
We were frozen, they wore us coffins
