    Modesties Analysis – Alejandro López Cinca Words as plain as hen-birds’ wings  Do not lie‚  Do not over-broider things -  Are too shy.  Thoughts that shuffle round like pence  Through each reign‚  Wear down to their simplest sense  Yet remain.  Weeds are not supposed to grow  But by degrees  Some achieve a flower‚ although  No one sees.  This is apparently a humble poem. The content and the form are both about the same thing regarding simplicity or‚ as the title denotes‚ modesty

    To a Muslim woman it does not represent oppression or imprisonment but rather a commitment to modesty. The fact that most Muslim women choose to dress this way shows they are not forced into this practice and it is wrong to assume that this modesty is something that would have to be forced upon women by men. It is my firm belief that choosing dress this way does not take away from a woman’s
