Daddy Oh Daddy... Mummy Where Are You? Poem by shirani ibrahim

'A teenagers life as the dark shadows hover around her'

Daddy oh daddy...mum where are you?

...I wanted to do so much for you...just for you two

To a strange land i came just to be an asset to you

I hang down my head 'alone' as the axe comes through.....


She could have been a beauty queen.....

In the land of the earthly luxurious green!

My heart and mind with thoughts feelings in confusion do collide;

At what some parents do for an easy grand luxurious ride.....

Am now left with heart rending pain unexplainable feelings of nausea

As sounds all drown at the foolish parents and their unacceptable flaw

Hearing impaired, as it brings torment double trouble, deadly fear

Sadly these games some parents play for their days to steer cheer

Leaves a youth alone...'standing terrified' in MAYBE a death row

Darkness surrounding, hopes dimmed as the time..nearer it grows

In silence we pray to God for this soul so young immature and innocent

Who pays a price as to her 'duty by parents' she blindly lovingly lent

Greed for money poverty stricken she was sent to meet their needs

And to Hisotry she enters as a heartless careless a dark breed

A baby to NURSE, a motherly place to take, a change of 'age' they make

Expereince nil, limits unknown, the baby chokes to a never EVER AWAKE

Her youthful precious mind so naive she entered that errornous zone

A deadly crime, blood for blood her future was fatal she now moans

As she hangs her head down and cries, her family, the agents, hands tied

She is in the land of the sand dunes as she cease to be, a lesson to many who lied

The law of the land the parents agents as Muslims they obviously knew understood

But matters not, the wallets need to be filled for a prosperous fantasy mood.....

I wonder what the agents have to say as this young one now destroyed forever more

How do they walk while an innocent life is beyond repair and maybe soon no more!
