Head Scarf Quotes

“w
Waiting silently for the day
when everything changes and those
fortifications crumble, and you can stand up,
pull off the head scarf
let your hair dance in the sun
lift your face to the skies as your words fly
free like butterflies
on the breeze.”
― Shirani Rajapakse, The Way It Is

“Your daughters are
receptors of knowledge, filled
with interesting ideas,
thoughts that could generate great
conversations, find solutions to the world’s
problems, if
you care to engage them in talk.
Don’t force them to be
something they are not, because your
sons have no control
over themselves.
Don’t shut them in,
imprison them
in shrouds, black cloaks
with only their eyes showing, covering
them up like corpses ready
to be thrown on
a communal burial heap.”
― Shirani Rajapakse, The Way It Is
