Female Genital Mutilation is a crime committed in the name of culture and religion. It should be stopped once and for all.
In the graveyard of culture
There lies a tiny red flesh
Cut off from a bleeding girl
It was buried in a crime soil
Around the corners of the moon
I see heavy clouds of barbarism
Let's do away with this practice
Lest the anger of God strikes us all

The first two lines speak so loudly; "In the graveyard of culture There lies a tiny red flesh"...
The spear of power comes at the price of humanity. No one has any right to commit this crime. Speak up; now is the time for the powerful to see they have lost their power to people living under God.
Keep writing, Abdi-Noor; your is one of the rare voices of humanity in a sea of emptiness. Fergus
God's wrath is now being sowen around the world--for that crime, SIN and many more sins. We are living in a wicked world as never before for Satan's time is running out. When Christ comes again there will be peace for a thousand years but until that time, we do not know, we must strive for peace and make no allowance for sin. 'lil flower
It is deliberate obfuscation; it is barbarism at its absolute worst. The last two lines say it all: it's time to change. Continue speaking out for the children, who suffer at the hands of man. Man's inhumanity visited upon innocent flesh...shameful.
