Song for Ahed

By Rajani Kanth

Ahed Tamimi

Stood , Fearless,

up to Power –

A mere

Schoolgirl:

become Heroine

Of the Hour

Yes, she was

Arrested:

Her mettle,

Sore tested –

Sure, Defiance,

Was bought at

High Cost

But that should

Not faze us –

Rather, amaze

us:

At   Sixteen,

She ,  the

One War –

Zion Has Lost
