The Hijab is a Garment Of Dignity and Grace

for the muslim women

its her spirituality
on the surface
covers the body
covers the face
adding to her
dignity
enhancing
her grace
the hijab
a muslim woman's
mind space
heritage of her race
to piety to modesty
its ancestry trace
but for the western mind
its a garment of oppression
slavery and disgrace
their thoughts on the hijab
anti muslim as their base
it is not the hijab
but islam
they want
to replace
a collusion of
vested interests
in the wrong place
