![]() Behind the VeilA Poem by A.G![]() When France banned the face veil or "niqaab" in 2011 it affected my sisters all around the world, not just there. I do not know what you may think of it but I was appalled and am completely against it![]() If words could
express what she conceals, And show the world
what lies behind that veil, Then each letter
would shine, And unlock the seal, Which covers their
eyes from the brightest of lights, And brings forth
darkness as black as night. They would lower
their gaze, And correct their
ways, Yet still they would
not know how high she has been raised. In the eyes of the
Almighty no one hold more beauty, Than that woman who
hides her chastity. So be it. If words could
describe what she conceals, And show the world
what lies behind that veil, The pen would
crumble, And the angels would
descend, And before the writer could finish, his life would end. For, if worlds could
describe the heart we conceal, And show the world
what lies behind this veil, Then the words would
glow, And the pages would
run low, But still, yet they
would not know What lies behind this
veil and robe. © 2011 A.GAuthor's Note
