awoke in the night
thinking of the burqa
thinking of this land Canada
thinking of the choices tomorrow
how easy would it be
for a burqa to be slipped over our head
I know the restrictions of a burqa
but what would it consist of
what would it look like
how would it feel
would it be noticeable enough we would resist its acceptance
a burqa is afterall
simply a not so subtle form of control
to keep things hidden
restrict vision and movement
could it be there is already a
denominational burqa over some
God keep our land
glorious and free
how willing are we to stand on guard
have we fallen asleep on our watch
will we wake up in time
whose kingdom is coming
from sea to sea
and from the rivers to the end of the earth
rise up Oh mighty One
mark us as Yours
have mercy
place the covering of Your Holy Presence over us
