Incarcerated

Here I am with my deep agile eyes
Like wild deer grazing under a tree.
Rest is a black cloud of cotton sighs;
Burqa is what's there, but no me.

Here I stand, under the scorching sun
Shying away from the eyes of every he.
A gloved hand dwelt by a mobile (seems fun);
More than the myself that is dwelt in the me.

Here I am with my 'equal' religion
One that came to set me free.
O' look you here, my dear dear religion;
Just look what you have done to me!

You poetry is interesting, I understand that your expressing a certain point of view. Just hope you understand the abuse of islam is centralized in certain areas of the world. I am from ethiopia and women are free to be women, playful, beautiful, colourfull. Thats how I see islam and I would really love it if every one tried to be understanding and see it for what it really is. Keep writting...

Thanks for your comment mate. But firstly, a very special thanks for understanding. Nowadays people tend more to curse than understand each other.

I do understand and appreciate your point of view. Keep visiting :)
