Hair stands on,
Awe-struck and horrified stand I
When hear I about
Female genital mutilation,
A barbaric act practised,
Bloody and brutal
Circumcision,
Dastardly medieval
Is this circumcision
Of the girl
Who is but a mother,
A sister,
A daughter.
O, cut you, cut you not,
Circumcize her not,
She is but a mother,
A sister,
A daughter,
The one who gave birth to
The male baby,
The womb,
The Womb of Creation,
Just think you,
Just feel you,
Be merciful to her,
Kind to her!
