If it’s not a punishment , but a beautiful choice.

If it gives us freedom, And it gives us a voice.
Then why does the world want to take it away?
Where is the equality and what do they say?
Why was it ordained from the heavens to the Earth?
What is it’s value and what is it’s worth?
It is a sheath that encases, conceals and covers.
Hijab is a shield, that protects and empowers,
In a world full of conspiracies, Why is it treated so cold?
Oh mighty veil! What power do you hold?
