Ostriches Of Rectitude

Fourteen violations by rape,
blackmailed, coerced, beaten
by an irate sibling (for blackening the
family reputation), and understandably
suicidal – you’d wonder what life
was left for this sad, maligned victim.

Kindly Saudi judges in Qatif all agreed
the rapists needed jailing for their
heinous deeds – then vent their
moral rage. She had been with a male,
alone in a car, and he no blood
relation! Forbidden under Sharia!

90 lashes they decreed; one said she
was lucky to avoid a time in prison.
What do they feed these ostriches
of rectitude? Is this farce because
their birdseed and Sharia-riddled
heads are permanently up their arse?
