The Muslim Woman "Unveiled"

By: Izdehar Albowyha

   You look at me and call me oppressed,
 ~~
 Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
 ~~
 You know me not for what's inside,
 ~~
 You judge the clothing I wear with pride,
 ~~
 My body's not for your eyes to hold,
 ~~
 You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold, 
~~
I'm an individual, I'm not mans slave,
 ~~
 It's Allahs pleasure that I only crave,
 ~~
 I have a voice so I will be heard,
 ~~
 For in my heart I carry His word,
 ~~
 " O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
 ~~
 So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk",
 ~~
 Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
 ~~
 It's a Law from God that I obey,
 ~~
 Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
 ~~
 For liberation is what I've got,
 ~~
 It was given to me many years ago,
 ~~
 With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
 ~~
 I can climb moutains or cross the seas,
 ~~
 Expand my mind in all degrees,
 ~~
 For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
 ~~
 When He sent Islam,
 ~~
 To You and Me!
