My Oppressor!

Dear Mr Who Has A Problem With Me;

It’s funny isn’t it how when you see me, or should I say the lack of me, that you seem to find the necessity to always comment.

You seem to think i’m oppressed yet the only oppression I suffer is from you.

You presume my man and my religion enforce this cloth on me, you presume covering up is a form of oppressing me. Yet you never care to ask, so that you may know the truth.
Instead you prefer to stand and insult, though your words to me are like that of a dog, which barks continuously and is easily ignored.

It is your prejudice and discrimination that oppresses me not this cloth that I choose to wear.

Let me give you a few choice examples of your oppression.
Remember that time you chose to stop me at the store and enforce your unwanted opinion on me, that were you able, you would make “the likes of me” illegal.
Remember how you backed away so easily when I warned you, if you say a word more, I would report you for verbal abuse?

So now think, verbal abuse is a crime, and the victims of crime are oppressed, so what does that make you?
Now you see, how you’re the oppressor and not this religion I choose to follow of my own free will?!

Or maybe you remember the time, when you stopped me at the give way, to once again subject me to your unwanted opinion.
At that time you once again, chose to say my attire should be banned and called me a phantom. (If I remember correctly you thought the car was driving its self).

So now you tell me, look at you and look at me.
You seem to think I’m oppressed, yet the only person oppressing me is you!

I stand by and wait for the day, that you shed your cloth of backwardness and ignorance, ‘cos if you look hard enough you can easily see, the only oppressed person here is you!

You have the problem with what I wear, not me. You’re the one who needs to resort to profanity every-time you see me.
You’re the one who thinks I’m oppressed not me.

So now its clear to see, the problem lies with you and not me, you’re own thoughts and assumptions are oppressing you, yet you choose to blame it all on me.

Kind Regards
