Afghanistan
by Elizabeth Challinor
I have a plan
She says
Eyes gleaming
Young mind innocently
Scheming
To stay bright and alive
I'll get enough questions
Wrong
On purpose
To repeat the year
Sad parents
Silently cheer
Their ten year old daughter
With tears of hope
Will the teacher
Secretly water
Her hidden kernel of power?
Inspired in and dedicated to the girls in Afghanistan.
