Oh God, hear the cry of Afghan Girls

Hearts torn, Afghan girls plead for pens, books, and freedom. A childhood's desperate light dims.

September 22, 2025

Oh God, hear the cries from the broken hearts of Afghan girls,

Listen to the sorrow of Afghan children.

What do they want but freedom and education?

Hear the voice of this 14-year-old Afghan girl—

What does she seek but a pen and a book?

Oh God, what has that poor soul done,

That they tore her heart into pieces?
