Nobel Peace Prize Poem by nafisa baheranwala

How do you justify
A woman's who won the Nobel
Then gives it away to a leader
Who spouts hate and trouble?

Is she morally weak
Or was she under pressure?
How could one hand over
The greatest national treasure?

Incredible, Disheartening
How is one so blind?
One truly wonders
What's going on in her mind…

For the new recipient claims
That he's finally won the prize
At what cost was it sold
How heavy was the price?

The Nobel committee claims
A prize cannot be shared
So what is the sorry tale
That has been now bared?

So the medal can be sold
Or it can be given away
But the original recipient's name
Is the one that will always stay.
