| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes the Islamic world's answer to Barbie dolls: Fulla, a more modestly dressed toy for Islamic children. The speaker states that even in these children's toys, one can see the 'discord' between races and religions. She describes these differences in the dolls as 'lesson one in discord' for the children of the world. |
