In response to this outrage of a news story:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/07/29/sudan.journalist.lashings/index.html
I have worn the wrong clothes
My jeans are tight and my blouse is low
And in the wrong village where all soon will know
The lashes awaiting me there
I have the same long black hair
It is curled in a bun in my hijab
I am sorry for flesh that is soon to be burning
For I have worn the wrong clothes
These men with the knives in their eyes
And the blood on their hands are still laughing
They hold holy books but all that they know
Is that I have worn the wrong clothes
