Frank Huzur’s poetic tribute to brave hearts of #Shaheen_Bagh #Ghanta_Ghar in the editorial of February issue, Socialist Factor
#Bravery_Under_Burqa
They are bold, brave & beautiful
Dressed in long loose garment black full
From head to feet
Burn in revolution heat
Women in veil of Shaheen Bagh
Know no fear wall
For they sing song of blood
Resist triggering tears flood
Their bravery under burqa
Make bigots hide in bush fourqa
With a shining bald head Goering of Saffron rule
Cried hoarse in Delhi air cool
Press the button for the BJP lotus currant
With so much anger that protesters in Shaheen Bagh feel the current
While the other flunkey of the Gruesome Twosome
Barked, ‘Shoot the Traitors’ fulsome
Swearing his comment reflects the moods of Delhi
Brave women under burqa pity his tongue and belly
Yogi of UP mocks Shaheen Bagh’s Sheroes
Grumbling like a burnt child over superwomen heroes
“The men of Shaheen Bagh were sending their women out to protest
while they stayed home and slept to fail test,
because they were too afraid
to come out themselves on spade
The monk cried
As if pussy cat jumped on him and he was fried
Why they spread fear
Over boys with beard and women with veil dear
Because they also fear a pearl in its shell
Women of Shaheen Bagh fights fascist well
