The Veiled


  Your hair may not be veiled.
  Your face may not, and your body.
  But your soul is.
  Your mind is.
  And so is everything decent,
                                    beautiful
                                         and human about you.
  A thousand fold veiled.
  A million fold veiled.
  You are hopeless.
                  Hopeless.

  Your beyond any redemption.
