Insight of Sight
I walk with my hijab- shadowed but shining
I walk fast, small silent steps, quick pace
I walk and weave through the crowded hallways
No bother to anyone, anyone no bother to me
Hair covered, arms covered, legs covered
But my Speech is not covered
My Sight is not concealed
My Brain is not hidden
My Heart is not veiled.
At school I see fake or real
At home I see harmony or discord
At heart I see friends or strangers
Some friends, until benefits become inept
Other friends, ‘till death do us part
In society I see an inevitable reality
The reality of equity in proximity of inequity
Kids stealing and kids sharing in the same classroom
Spendthrifts and starving sufferers in the same city
Rapists and children in the same playground
People creating life and people leaving life in same building
Little we do but watch the tendencies of humanity
Is sight a gift?
Sight gives the gift of vision
Vision of waterfalls and rainbows
Vision of fire and dirt
We use our vision to create sight
Sight to see some things but not others-
Sight to create Insight
