Shame the Slut-Shamers

A woman with a self-respect platform

can take two men in four months

and she’ll be humiliated

like the first school child to need glasses.

 

Shame the slut-shamers,

the society

that cares more about a woman’s bed

than her thoughts.

 

She’ll be ridiculed

for private choices,

closed door sessions,

and under-the-sheets confessions.

Shame the slut-shamers,

the people

who don’t understand the empowerment,

the liberation that comes with sexuality.

 

She’ll be called a devil in the sheets,

and a whore in the streets.

The mothers, they’ll abhor her,

and the fathers, well, they’ll adore her.

 

Shame the slut-shamers,

the friends

that wish they could be so brave,

without care of someone else’s reaction

 

They'll make t shirts

and make fun

But they can't make,

they won’t make me regret.
