Malala

Where there is darkness, light is forbidden,

The brightest of sparks, have to be hidden;

Yet radiance shines through and goodness will thrive,

Courage and kindness, will always survive.

Malala Yousafzai, a girl with a heart,

Vowed to be true, to make a new start.

She demanded to know, in consternation,

"How dare they take away my education"?!

Darkness came swiftly to shoot down her dreams,

Rights in her school-bus, she conquered their screams;

Bravely she blogged on, to fight for her choice,

The world quietened down, to hear her sweet voice.

I Am Malala!" is our battle-cry,

For children who yearn, to reach for the sky!
