[Memorable]

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 no 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!
