I am missing a connection of the Arabic shuhada with the “sweet irish.” Educate me, please.

Sinéad O’Connor changed her name twice in her life. Her first name change was Magda Davitt in 2017 and then Shuhada’ Sadaqat in 2018. I felt it only right to title this poem with the name she would’ve preferred to have been known by. 😀

I thought it was about her, but I didn’t know about the name changes. Thank you, Tony.

You’re so welcome, Dolly. I only just found out about the name changes some days ago myself, so it was news to me too.

I suspect she would not have wanted it. (Nice micro poem there!)
