Take No Prisoners: High School Girls Kidnapped



High school girls kidnapped,
A global protest rising;
Justified concern.
Young, high school girls targeted en masse
Like vulnerable prey, kidnapped,
Taken captive against their will,
Forcibly confined, imprisoned.
Subversive soldiers seeking financial gain;
Female slaves, a potentially marketable commodity,
A profit motive.
One escapee runs, flees for her life;
Terror, fear, a life or death experience for her,
Trauma, potentially changing her life forever.
Growing community awareness
As the student recounts her horrific experience;
A potentially tragic scenario
For all of the young, female students
Suffering the loss of personal freedom,
Overt denial of their freedom of education,
Loss of their religious freedom
With sacrificial implications.
The question as to how to break female bondage.
Angry parents frightened for their daughters.
Seething anger coupled with
The growing frustration of helplessness;
And among leaders of the nation,
A cry for international assistance to save their lives.
The world stands horrified,
Appalled at the reality of female bondage;
Slavery in this age,
Unjustifiable abuse,
Maltreatment of young high school girls
Otherwise destined to fulfill their God-given potential.
In reality, inhumane treatment of females;
Re-emphasizing the need to break female bondage, globally.
Is the world witnessing, still allowing slavery
In this supposedly civilized era?
A major question of rights,
Female student's educational rights,
The rights of all women regardless of age,
Parent's rights to raise their daughters,
To educate them, as they see fit.
The need for a global protest, immediate action.
Justified objection, growing governmental concern;
A legitimate request for international assistance.
The question of never ending bondage to slavery
Raising more questions about age-old, religious traditions,
Horrific sacrificial religious implications,
Basic denial of religious freedom.
International outrage grows.
As a village is plundered, protesters murdered;
An increasing need for help and protection.
Female students used as a bargaining chip;
Possible option of negotiation for release of prisoners.
A cry echoes and re-echoes around the world,
"We love our daughters."
A flicker of hope, a video,
An possible option for the abducted,
Freedom in a prisoner exchange.
The need for God to intervene.
Take no prisoners.


Is the world witnessing, still allowing slavery in this supposedly civilized era?
