I Do Not Like Your Veil Poem by Umu Ezionum

I don't like your veil
The veil that covers your face
making you walk like a masquerade
more like a glorified shadow

Why do you put on veil
hiding your face with that attire
don't you know your smile can
illuminate the heart of a wearied child?

without you there is no beauty
there is no poetry
no countenance to reveal unspoken word
tethered, tethered my darling.

Let your beauty show
you're a part of those things
that makes the world a place to live,
part of the beauty in everything.

Your faith may bade you NO
your thought may fail to comprehend
i grew up like this, this is my choice
even the holy book command it to be.

My veil shakes away men with lustful eyes
it will keep me shielded when corruption flies
oh on....
think my darling... think

Your veil is not a companion of Love
Your veil hid you like shadow without sun
Your veil makes you invisible to the world
think my darling... think

if you need to cover,
then let it be only your head and neck
and not your face.....
you're part of the beauty in everything.
