Saudi Arabia, is one of the United States Allies, <br />Our judicial system, though not perfect, is relatively humane, <br />By comparison the US system by Saudi’s system is pale, <br />The Imarship, its dictatorial domain is indeed somewhat a travesty, <br />Is not in tune with humanity, <br />According to the Koran, <br />a judge sent a woman who was gang raped to jail, <br />And she was to receive two hundred lashes, <br />For being in the company of men not be of her family relations. <br />Where are suffragettes when you need them? <br />Are they packed in Suffragette City? <br /> <br />Where are the women freedom fighters of the United Nations? <br />True the Koran is a sacred book, <br />-but did Allah have in mind, <br />Torturing a woman that has violated and abused. <br />I hope not, <br /> if I recall the thief, <br />according to the Koran, <br />would have his arm cut off, <br />I hope, in the case, the men would not be sedated, <br />And like the appendage that was used, <br />like the thief’s hand or arm, <br />They should be castrated. <br /> <br />(11-19-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whips-and-chains/
