vagina monologue from the land of the pure
dear chief magistrate:*
have a feeling
you have no ears
nose
eyes
or heart
for the one
beneath whose feet
your prophet said lies heaven
vagina
for you
is lust
procreation
or sub clauses
your suo motos
are laughable
and agenda driven
your are one of them
effectively overlooking
not seeing
hearing
nor noticing
travesties in your domain
(soommun boookmun....)
am i bitter
no
traumatized?
no
driven?
yes
the world knows
my brother sodomized
the world knows
their deflection
the world knows
what the panchayat declared
the mixed sperms
in my vagina
played havoc
still do
in my mind
and
sitting in your ensconced chambers
wearing black
you ignore the turmoil
and highlight the sub clauses
this violated vagina
shall prick your conscience
correction
should prick your conscience
if
you had ears
my screams would echo
for ever
and when you lie down
nightmares of your daughter
suffering indecencies
will haunt you
this is my prayer
and curse
* am not addressing you o Allah. that'll be another time

As the author of a 2006 book on the Mukhtaran Mai case and a former Islamabad-based Western female news correspondent, I must raise a voice of dissent amidst the shrill reaction to the Supreme Court’s acquittal of 13 of 14 men accused in Mukhtaran Mai’s case.
In 2005-2006, after many months painstakingly poring through every police statement, medical record, witness testimony, and cross-examination transcript in this case, coupled with multiple visits to Mirwala, Jatoi and Dera Ghazi Khan for extensive interviews with members of both sides of this case, I reached the same conclusion as the Supreme Court has in 2011.
