Behind The Veil
Behind the veil
There is a sense of oppression
We need a full stop
Like the end of a sentence
The oppressor is you
Who falsely mentions progression
But she feels a liberation
That men cannot question
The media’s attempted attacks
Will never come to phase me
Page one wants the ban
But take a look at page three
They want to attack our religion
But you can’t attack peace
They want to attack our women
But you can’t attack queens
Moderation and modesty
Is what they represent
Peace and submission
Will prevail in the end
You call it liberation
Its the ban you want to see
But I call pure hypocrisy
When you call this country free
You confine us to one corner
With barbed wire on our mouths
But the time to speak is upon us
To speak out and oust the doubts
Behind the veil is justice
Behind the veil is freedom
Behind the veil is beauty
But to see it you have no reason
