The Veil

If to bear all is your choice,
To cover is mine,
Why does mine rage you,
A choice so benign,
A disguise is dangerous,
Not a veil,
It needs no covering,
To make you go pale,
Concealed motives,
Unrecognizable intentions,
No doubt of intents,
No doubt on the actions,
They are your true enemies,
Not my hair or face I cover,
They can hide and sneak anywhere,
And remain potentially undiscovered,
I don't deny people can use a veil,
To conceal identities and harm,
But tell me don't the unveiled cause mischief,
Why is the veil, the only source of alarm,
Mischiefmongers are individuals,
Their faith is in evil, nothing more,
They disguise them as us,
To shake humanity from the core,
To divide and conquer,
Their motto is,
What part of I'm not like them,
Do you tend to miss,
Followers of the same faith,
And yet actions not alike,
That is difference between people,
A personal choice can spike,
You tell me my choice,
Is a sign of oppression,
Of infringing rights,
It's another form of obsession,
Rape is a crime,
Nudity isn't,
To be forced to cover is,
By choice it isn't,
We have our beliefs,
You live with yours and I shall live with mine,
Of a free world,
There could be no better sign,
Those who harm you,
Harm me too,
Because humanity isn't about,
Alone me and you,
I shall condemn the criminals,
Because it is my belief,
To care for those,
Who are in grief,
Why does a white man with a beard,
Mean nothing to you,
And a change of skin colour,
Now you wonder his deeper motives too,
To end the mischief I ask,
To fight evil hand in hand,
To overlook our differences,
And together to stand,
But for that to happen,
You have to stop judging me,
And recognize me as one of you,
And not your enemy.
