Rokhsana

A Poem by Neville
"

.. Not everything is what it seems, some things are much worse .. Stoned to death for alleged adultery .. Let us not forget her name

"

Rokhsana

 

Although her underskirt was crimson


and her scarlet stockings were then torn …



She was still by far, more beautiful


than so very many others, on the day that she was stoned …

Well said my friend. The baying mob is seldom right and that pack mentality has seeped into so much of our lives. I wonder if that baying mob pat themself on the back in the cold light of another day, that their victim will never get to see.
