Can You See What I See

The Beauty of a Muslimah is in clear sight for those with enough patience to gaze into the human soul...For those who use Islam to see....

For My Dignity

WHY?
I just cant understand why ?
yea so what, I know it's cliche
I am just angry enough not to give a damn
Why do they hate me?
Why do they look at me with disdain in their hearts?
why do they return my smile with chuckles laced with hate?

Their eyes puncture mine
Will I ever see again?
Or will the memory of this evil forever screen everything I receive?
What about my presence has offended thee so much?
Making even the air around me intolerable
Hurling your insults at me and everything I hold dear
You think you're tearing me from my deen
You think you tarnish the name of my Prophet(saw)
Think again, think again O you who attack the servants of Allah(swt)!

I will never yield to you
I will never again be another made up barbie doll of pop culture
Slave to the desires of men!
May Allah scratch me out the day I choose to be the slave of man over the Slave of Allah(swt)!
Never again I promise thee

Even when i was a nothing better than a lost khuffar
They marginalized, stereotyped, and exploited me
I see women that look like me on hip hop videos
hoes and B's
To them a black woman was an exotic hoe and a B

At best from men that looked like me I was a shorty, a dime
A dime...my worth

OH! but according to Usher at best I could be a dollar worth a dime...OH yeah that's right a WHOLE DOLLAR! Yeeeeeaaaahhh!
