Ripples of dark muslin
Surround a tiny being Legs, mouth, hair All enveloped in mystery The only thing visible Are her piercing eyes Pleading for mercy She is forced to live like this Not by her parents But by law Although it is a burden She does not vocally object For the veil of muslin Is a veil to silence Interpretation:a lot of you may not get this, but it is inspired by a young girl I write back and forth with from Saudi Arabia (she came here to help her dad, but had to go back) This was written awhile ago, when women were forced to fully cloth themselves and such. |
