Within the binds of his eyes she cannot run
Powerless and feeble under the forlorn Saudi sun
Down her cheek the tepid solution spills
From a mundane view of pallid hills

Faceless women gather around
As she lies spread out on searing ground
With emptiness consuming her mind
The jolting blade is raised by her own kind
Piercing the possessed atmosphere with her screams
They be obeying the devils will in a hollow means
As shots of blood brutalize the scenes

In a mutawa set stage
She dwells in the golden cage
Tears falling in silent rage
Flames revolting over dreams of a blissful page
Shackled in the jewels of Al Sa'ud
She slice’s thoughts in her cerebral feud

Under nuptial demand
The morning sun breaths on deaths sand
As clean sheets are seized in her devils hand
His eyes sending shots down her spine
Clutching her shoulders she falls to the line

Memory of lineage shame across a trembling hand
Cast aside on violet dyed sand
As her shattered mouth coughs blood she moans
Her body jerking amongst soaring stones
Under the forlorn Saudi sun she lies cold and raw
A memory of nothing, no one, nobody, no more

This envoked many an emotion in me...

that makes it powerful in my book.
