(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…
