Just came across the powerful image and thought provoking poem by Meena. She was dedicate to the struggle of Afgan muslim women andhuman rights . The poster below is by an north American artist: Favianna Rodriguez Giannoni. Cool work with emotion and power ( http://www.favianna.com/ ).


I’LL NEVER RETURN
I'm the woman who has awoken
I've arisen and become a tempest through the ashes of my burnt children
I've arisen from the rivulets of my brother's blood
My nation's wrath has empowered me
My ruined and burnt villages fill me with hatred against the enemy
Oh compatriot, no longer regard me weak and incapable,
My voice has mingled with thousands of arisen women
My fists are clenched with fists of thousands compatriots
To break all these sufferings all these fetters of slavery.
I'm the woman who has awoken,
I've found my path and will never return.
Poem by Meena (1956-1987)
