(RAWA: Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) Taliban ruled once in Afghanistan They made the country one huge concentration camp for women But RAWA kept the torch of hope alive Even in the darkest days RAWA kept on the light And continued to struggle for womens’ right Although it was a hard kind of fight I took Nine Eleven to show the West what is Taliban I was afraid their overthrow wouldn’t happen during my lifetime no more But it did I am happy to see them away But terror must still be kept at bay The Northern Alliance is still oppressing human right The way to freedom and democracy is still wide But when I saw the Taliban rule overthrown Why shoudn’t I see Jehadi rule overthrown? I hope that day is not to far but it inspires my hope to know RAWA is keeping the torch of hope alive also now RAWA keeps on the light And continues to struggle for womens’ right Although it’s a hard kind of fight But the future will be bright
