MARIAM          Incarcerated in a lowly cell
  Held incommunicado, isolated & lonely
    The isolation a form of mental torture
      To change your walk and your talk
           To change how you think
       To change what you believe in.
     Yet not despairing, desperate or dejected
  Spirits uplifted by your faith in Allah the Almighty
    Isn't it ironic that you are locked in a place
  Where you strove so hard to free your clients from?
                         Legal luminary
  First Gamiban female to don the lawyer's gown & wig
        Your achievements notwithstanding
             You remain down to earth
         Humble, approachable & respectful.
               Loyal and faithful wife
         Caring and loving mother and daughter
       Mindful and connecting relative & friend
       Promoter of women and children's rights
                   Defender of human rights
             Your rights have been abrogated
      While, we stand aside helpless & hapless
           Unable to provide you with solace
              My heart bleeds for my sister
       My thoughts and prayers are with you
             May you rise, rise, rise, rise
     To leave behind the nights of darkness & terror
           To leave behind the filth & dirt
       To rise with faith, hope and renewed zest
                        To start life afrest
