THE LADIES OF JUAREZ

The ladies of Juarez

Have given their lives,

Back to the mother,

With deeply sealed eyes.

Why were they taken,

By those with brute force,

When if asked just to dance,

Would have loved to, of course.

The ladies of Juarez

Are broken and torn,

Back to the Mother,

She, alone, will mourn.

Why were they wasted

By thick heavy arms,

When flowers on offer,

Would have lit their hearts warm.

The ladies of Juarez,

Have given their lives,

Back to the mother,

With deeply sealed eyes.
