Beauty of the Hijab

the beauty
of the hijab
lies in the eyes
of the beholder
its true
but it disturbs
the peace of mind
of those that dont wear it
becomes a global issue
coming to blows
to have it banned
they argue
a garment of modesty
adding to a
Muslim woman's virtue
worthy of its spiritual value
but the hijab
gives sleepless nights
to heads of state
hate on it they spew
ignoring good governance
fighting for just causes
its the hijab as diatribe
they pursue
the veil the burqa
call it what you may
will live long
after you are
dead and gone
give the hijab
its due
stop
considering it
a taboo
what really
bugs you guys
its the only garment
blessed by god
you cant see through
the hijab a woman's
second flesh
blood muscle sinew
