The Modern Woman


Women. The creature that used to make a man fall in awe The Creature that made men drop their jaws We used to inspire ballads and poetry Now it is solely pornography We even once held surprises Now we keep up with which lie is which We dress as School Girls and French Maids A surprise at what price to pay? Don't get me wrong, jaws drop in surprise Because our fathers do not believe their eyes Who's responsible for her ideas? Television! Then where was the adult supervision? She's a whore that will end up on the corner. Attention was all they needed to give her. Her virginity gone and a mind unsettled An adulterer headed for the netherworld? Think of you. Know your value. I am not a picture, Or their predicted streetwalker. I am like the women before the 17th century. A man will see me and think i'm extraordinary No fake breast nor a cross dresser I am Real. I am a woman. A woman worth putting in some trust A woman not tempted by flesh's lust She knows who she is He will love that the most. But will love be se seen Or will he be distracted by the computer screen? Women have lost their value Only because we choose to. Women have lost their pride To know what it means to be a bride A bride dressed in pure white No, she's in off white We all know she was out there Just look at what she used to wear! That red dress above her knee It's a wonder she's STD free Or is she? She's a woman who made a choice But did you know she lost her voice? Women are a prize to be won Not a toy to be taken Nor a thing to screw and move on. I am classy. I am sexy. I am me. I am the rare woman of the 21st century.
