As'Salaamu Alakium Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatu,
This is for all the young Muslimahs hope you enjoy!!! Umm IbrahimAbdur-Rahman (khadijah)
What do you see when you look at me,
Do you see someone limited or someone free,
All some people can do is just look and stare,
Simple because they can't see my hair,
Others think I am controlled and uneducated,
They think I am limited and un-liberated,
They are so thankful they are not me,
Because they would like to remain "free",
Well free isn't exactly the word I would have used,
Describing women who are cheated on and abused,
They think that I do not have opinions or voice,
They think that being hooded isn't my choice,
They think that the hood make me look caged,
That my husband, or dad are totally outraged,
All they can do is look at me I fear,
And in my eye there is a tear,
Not because I have been stared at or made fun of,
But because people are ignoring the One above,
On the day of Judgement they will be the fools,
Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules,
Maybe the guys won't think I'm a cutie,
But at least I am filled with more inner beauty,
See I have declined from being a guy's toy,
Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy,
Real men are able to appreciate my mind,
And aren't busy looking at my behind,
Hooded girls are the ones really helping the Muslim cause,
The role that they play definitely deserve applause,
I will be recognized because I am smart and bright,
And because some people are inspired by my insight,
The smart ones are attracted to my tranquility,
In the back of their mind they wish they were me,
We have the strength to do what we think is right,
Even if it means putting up a life long fight,
You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirts,
We are given only respect and never treated like dirt,
So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated,
We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated,
We are the ones that are free and pure,
We are of STD's that have no cure,
So when people ask you how you feel about the hood,
Just sum it up by saying "Baby Its All Good."
