Iraqi women are in a near panic as the threat of a Sharia law based legal system hovers ominously over the constitutional protection once promised along with the pelting of U.S servicemembers with flowers upon the liberation of Baghdad.

Maybe take another look That’s not just terror in my eyes The cloth that’s stretched across my face The stifled silence of my cries For granted for too long we took The freedom just to feel the breeze The warmth of sun on shoulder blades The gentle shade of cooling trees My body now is forced to hide No longer free to move with grace To simply get from A to B I cloak my soul and hide my face Religious fervor rears its head Compounding all my deepest fears When I walk by you won’t see much Perhaps just trickles of my tears The battle is not easily won For sons and daughters I still strive I will not rest until I’m free I still can breathe, I’m still alive
