A Pondering On Women

I wonder why it is that, Some women work so hard to be chased That they forget to flirt With the idea of being caught and embraced. I wonder why it is that, There is such a need to fight against male reliance That the lines become blurred Between independence and defiance. I dare say, I see a need A need to realise it’s ok to be homely. Because it’s easier than realising You’re not independent, you’re lonely, Before moving on to Blame men for the choices you made And handing an IOU to all men That you feel has never been paid. There are some women Who will drop the cliché, “I’m different”. So far removed From other women. Just different! But, in those ‘different’ eyes, All men fall under the same umbrella, Meaning that there’s no room for you When life decides it’s time for stormy weather. And another thing Music and Hollywood don’t portray men. They portray ideas that make money, Money that makes them. So men wonder why There is love for R. Kelly while he pees on young girls But divorce is an option Because he sometimes fails to comment on curls. Ladies, men aren’t perfect And real men are always rough around the edges But we shouldn’t have to storm A beach in Normandy just to make our pledges Because, eventually, The chase stops and all that is left to see Is a lonely, defiant rock, Being eaten by life’s cold sea.
