Loujain al-Hothloul.
Imprisoned 2018 —?

The iron of the prison gates
had closed upon the girl.

And she was strong and she is yet.
Intelligent and young.

Loujain the activist. Loujain the brave.
Tortured, behind those steely bars.
Conditions inhumane.

Her crime is laughable….
LET WOMEN DRIVE !

Saudi Arabia…corrupt and ignorant.
The West is not a perfect place
But women have the Vote.

Loujain… We hope you are not languishing.
May your spirit rise within,
Keep up the song and sweetly sing.

We …far away, sing too.
Let the Bells of Freedom ring.
That is our song of praise for you,…

We scorn their sophist rants…
Loujain… the valiant.
