neighbors envy
owners pride
the hijab
a split open wide
between those
that wear it
those that hate it
a great divide
the hijab
a muslim womans
spirituality
her ancestral pride
its not just her face
that she hides
a solace
a self respect
the hijab provides
her faith
her eternal guide
it is not a woman
in a hijab
but her custom
her traditions
within the hijab reside
the hijab you can ban
but it lives
beyond time and tide
a garment of modesty
she takes in her stride
