(1)Scattered Pearls by Humairah Ragie
Scattered pearls around the world
Protected by their shiny shells
We shine like stars in the black sky
You may call it opression
I call it freedom from an evil eye
You may mock at my veil
But my religion will always prevail
My body is not for the world to view
Yet I know I intrigue you
Who am I you may ask?
I am a rose protected by its thorns,
A gem in a treasure chest
and you
You are a devil with disguised horns…
