[Newspoetry] Sharia Woman

[Wendy Edwards]

Sharia Woman (Nigerian version of Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Woman?")

Well, they'll stone ya if you happen to be attacked,
They'll stone ya cause male witnesses you lacked.
They'll stone ya after you have given birth.
Then they'll stone ya just for being on this earth.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Every woman must get stoned.

Well, they'll stone ya but they'll just acquit the guy.
They'll stone ya after sentencing you to die.
They'll stone ya and they'll invoke the book Koran.
They'll stone ya cause the government says they can.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Every woman must get stoned.
