Malala Yousafzai

Have no words to express praise,

about you O’ Bold Jewel –

Yet, I dedicate few lines,

honoring a heroic soul.

Your name may mean ‘grief stricken’,

but, you carry a treasure trove of –

love,

passion,

education,

words,

learned parents,

strong enough to shake

those hideous scoundrels.

Your love for education

for the fairer sex;

that too in a country

inflicted with terrorism;

paints a picture

of positivity,

which one day;

will win.  

The wicked –

under the influence of,

self evaluated evil thoughts,

went irate, hearing your vision

and succumbed to heinous act of,

erasing your existence.

But,

those ill-minded nefarious militants,

literally forgot and forget,

that they can never ever

kill conviction.

You almost closed your eyes,

lying in a hospital bed

with the World backing you;

for fifteen long days,

thinking the battle

might be lost.

But, it was your

will-power which                            

opened them to

fight for a cause.

O’ Bold Jewel –

You stand as an apostle

of determination and courage

for the young and old,

in this rustic World.
