Pakistani girl in England for medical treatment

British doctors are treating a Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by members of the Taliban.  Militants vow to kill the girl because of her vocal promotion of education for girls.

 

                 Time to Heal

The co-ed teenager from Pakistan,

Protected from those of the Taliban,
Is in the UK for medical care,
Guarded by those who took the girl there.

The Taliban says it's simply not fooling

In its opposition of all of that schooling
For women it feels should cover their faces,
Do what their told, and stay in their places.
