From the droned villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan--
Bring back our girls!
From Nigeria, and the brothels of the Philippines--
Bring back our girls!
From the ruined
cities of Detroit and Newark
And the ravished American Dream--
Bring back our girls!
From "Disaster
Capitalism" and twerking jerks--
Bring back our girls!
From the
"Occupied Territories" of Palestine,
And from Israeli Porn Kings--
Bring back our girls!
From the
"royal" slave-holders of Arabia,
And the crapulous monarchs of Britain--
Bring back our girls!
From our culture of
destitution and prostitution--
Bring back our girls!
From
"entrepreneurs" and exploiters
Of sex and violence, and from those who confound and abuse--
Bring back our girls!
Restore them to their birthright dignity:
Co-creators; mothers; sisters; daughters; friends.
Bring back our girls
From the wars that have butchered them--
(Restore them!);
From the silence that has answered their prayers--
(Answer now).
From the callous hypocrisy
Of scoffed-at dreams and snuffed-out hopes--
Bring back our girls!
