2009 Youth Poetry Winner
The Pen and Sword

Youth Winner

The Pen and Sword
by Saara Khalid


Poet composing
Armies of words
Marching out to Jihad
Against oppression
Hate, Racism
Stereotyping
Against Chaos
Poet commanding
Lines of letters
Reaching out
To comfort
Encourage, enlighten
To bring hope
Poet is the general
That stands up strong
To protect what’s right
Poet is the bleeding heart
That has compassion
For the oppressed
Poet knows the power
Of ink and paper
Poet knows the strength
Of words spent for Allah.
