Assalamu alaykum wr wb brothers and sister in Islam. Here a poem that a talented young muslimah sent me.

Betta Recognize!
You scan me outYea, I'm Muslim no doubt
With confidence do I cover
Uh-oh, sorry can't talk to you brother
My game is only for those who can follow life's quest
It's not "aww I broke my nail, but my hair is still the best"
I'm busting a style called dignity
Can you handle it G?
All playa'z go getz da steppin'
You call it mackin', I call it buggin'
A real man doesn't need sweet words
He'z got knowledge, far sweeter than perverted verbs
So you're wondering if I can speak the same language you do
Is English enuff or do you want a lil ebonics too?
This is my identity, itz not meant to pick a fight
But just a warning, if you disrespect or come too close I'll definitely bite!
So if you wanna judge me through the western eyes
All I gotz to say is betta recgonizeeeeee!!

Ask Allah swt to increase her in knowledage and in faith...ameen....got so much more poems that she wrote so if any1 is interested pls let me know. make dua for me 2 guys!
your sister in faith

Assalamu alaykum
This is a short and sweet poem!
inshallah y'all will enjoy it:)

Victim of Life
Who are we?
What is meant to be?
Peace and harmony?
Or just life's untimely destiny?

You look and see
And you say "is that me?"
You nod your head sadly
With no answer to life's mystery

The mirror reflects
But does not detect
What is it you want, respect?
Or just to be another one of life's suspect

make silent du'a for the talented sistuh that wrote this....Man this poems should be published..rite
look out 4 more
wa'salam
ur sistuh in faith...oh ya keep me in your prayers as well

Assalamu Alaikum. I just thought that some of you might like this poem. Insha Allah, May we all benefit from it.
__________________
Emma is a lawyer
And so is Aisha too
Colleagues going into court
At circa half past two

Its 1 O'clock right now
They grab a bite before the trial
They chat about this and that
Conversing with a smile

Aisha is in full hijab
With a loose all over suit
Emma's in her business wear
With accessories taboot

Emma's really quite bemused
At Aisha's godly ways
She looks Aisha in the eyes
And very firmly says

You're a smart girl Aisha
Why do you wear that across your hair?
Subjugated by "man"-kind
An object of despair

Take it off my sister
Let your banner be unfurled
Don't blindly follow all around
DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD

Aisha is amazed
But not the least bit shy
She bravely puts her milk shake down
And gives Emma the reply

My dear sister Emma,
Why do you dress the way you do?
The skirt you're wearing round your waist,
Is it really you?

Now that we've sat down,
I see you tug it across your thighs,
Do you feel ashamed?
Aware of prying eyes?

I see the way you're sitting,
Both legs joined at the knees,
Who forces you to sit like that?
Do you feel at ease?

I'll tell you who obliges you,
To dress the way you do,
Gucci, Klein and St. Laurent,
All have designs on you!

In the main, its men my friend,
Who dictate the whims of fashion,
Generating all the garb,
To incite the basest passion

"Sex Sells" there is no doubt,
But who buys with such great haste,
The answer is the likes of you,
Because they want to be embraced......

They want to be accepted,
On a level playing field
Sure, with brain and intellect
But with body parts revealed

Intelligence and reason
Are useful by and by
But if you want to make a mark
Stay appealing to the eye

You claim your skirt is office like
A business dress of sorts
Would we not laugh at Tony Blair
If he turned up in shorts?

His could be the poshest pants
Pinstripe from Saville Rowe
But walking round like that my friend
He'd really have to go

Why do you douse yourself with creams
To make your skin so milky?
Why do rip off all your hair
To keep your body silky?

A simple shower's all you need
To stay respectable and clean
The time and money that you spend
Is really quite obscene

Why do you wake up at dawn,
To apply a firm foundation,
Topped with make up and the like,
In one chaotic combination?

And if you should have to leave the house
Devoid of this routine
Why do you feel so insecure
That you should not be seen?

Be free my sister Emma
Escape from your deep mire
Don hijab today my friend
And all Islam's attire

Avoid all those sickly stares
Or whistles from afar
Walk down the street with dignity
Take pride in who you are

Strength lies in anonymity
Be a shadow in the crowd
Until you speak and interact
When your voice will carry loud

You're a smart girl Emma
Wear this across your hair
Don't be subjugated by "man"-kind
An object of despair

To use your very words my friend
Let your banner be unfurled
Don't blindly follow all around
DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD
