I Am Muslim & I Wear The Headscarf
Ok let me clear out some confusion,
In case you’ve been living in what they call an optical illusion.
That I’m oppressed,
And my dress portrays that I’m stressed.
But is it really that way,
Like hey.
I speak the same language,
I preach the same words, please I’m not at a disadvantage!
Islam comes from peace and submission,
And it’s no tradition.
Islam is a way of life,
That I choose as my life.
My goal is to please God or Allah,
The one and only Allah.
Reasonably,
I cover for my protection fashionably.
Just because I’m covered,
Doesn’t mean I will never be discovered.
In fact,
My body doesn’t seem like a distraction when I want to interact.
I may get a few looks here and there,
But really don’t people glare when someone brings up a new questionnaire.
I wear it proudly,
Knowing that my words speak loudly.
I am treated with respect,
And I don’t come out wrecked.
I don’t date,
Because I don’t want to be any boy’s bait.
I am not used,
And I was never abused.
I know some will say,
Come on stay with the cliche!
Others will stare as if I’m singled out,
And they say that you feel true love leaving you in a bout.
However,
Let me tell you that true love lasts forever.
In true love both people give and rarely take,
They stay even if you break.
True love is when looks will fade,
Yet your partner will be staying as he or she had stayed.
I speak against oppression and corruption,
Because in a society they cause a disruption.
I don’t accept bullies or the oppressors,
Even if they are educated college professors.
Islam doesn’t either,
It’s teachings are breather.
They give you space,
Before you embrace.
Muslims nowadays are not pure,
Their decisions may be poor.
Seems to the media,
that there are muslim extremists working as an interactive multimedia.
To cause harm,
Needless to say that other religions have had some burglars go off on the alarm.
Let’s not start,
Because Islam has never agreed to this harmful art.
I do what God told me to do,
Even if the society goes boo.
Lastly,
I know the U.S Constitution will accept that vastly.
‘Cause it preaches freedom,
The kind I need not to live in boredom.
Restricted is not what the Constitution calls me,
They call me their trustee.
After all,
it is allowed y’all.
