| Irreverent pagans | | From the coffers of their mighty legacy | | Have bestowed upon women
Heathen gifts
Veil and hijab
Gift-wrapped in silken shroud
Of false piety
Marks of status and wealth
Those gifts rejected by Islam
For the ultimate Gift of Equality
Now paraded as heirloom of Muslim heritage
Religion scarred by lies
The well-preserved pearls of truth rusted
By the glitter-dust of distortions
How should one wear religion
This new Millennium
Perhaps
Strewn with Love
On the gold-thread of
Wisdom, knowledge, understanding? |
