After being in prison because once
a Muslim woman always a Muslim woman who may not a Christian marry
Delivering birth to a child in
prison under sentence to be hanged and then buried
For the crime of marrying a
Christian and refusing to recant her faith in a Christian God
After outcry in the West led by Fox
News that the image of peaceful Islam is a total fraud
A cleric judge relents and orders
her set free
To not face a rope looped over a
hanging tree
This poet and others breathed a
sigh of relief and joy that maybe Sharia has a human heart
While the State Department dithered
on granting asylum for Ibrahim and family to the U.S. depart
But freedom under Sharia is like
the joy of the bungee jumping cord thrill
After soaring down into the
excitement of freedom, it pulls you back for the kill
Imprisoned now after a day of
freedom from Sudan's Sharia law in a jail for the Sudan trying to leave
Back to the scaffold once again we
hope and pray not after a one day reprieve
The State Department should
immediate grant her and her family asylum in the United States
While for her release to leave the
Sudanese cajole and berate
While the rest of us with hopes
that finally a balloon of hope Sharia would show tolerance watch that balloon
deflate
Sadly, Ibrahim may become a martyr
far before her time, a wake up call to the dangers of Sharia that will grow not
abate
This woman is a hero; how many of
us would abandon life for love of husband and belief in Christ
Facing death, yet secure in her
faith that Christ's love for her will suffice
