Oladimeji Ola Yinka Poet Free verse

My Hijab

I am a real Muslim woman 
The one that obey the rules of my unseen God 
And give total submission to the prophet teaching 
To wear hijab and be free from all conundrum of life 

I am a real Muslim woman 
My Hijab is my piety 
My viel will always be on me 
I am a queen, a wife of a king I'm unique  and different 
I don't shake my hands with strange men 
My beauty will not be cheapened with worldly things 
I am disciplined humbly with my dressing
I am respectful and I'm Auspiciously 

This piece of cloth that cover my body is full of tranquility
A sign of total submission to my husband 
I am a real Muslim woman 
And I am the sacred Gold of my husband 
I am not just an ornament for your eyes 
I am a phenomenal Muslim woman 
The one that eat only from the hands work of her husband
Uniquely as the  gold  which must be mined
My hijab is my piety
My hijab is my choice and my life
