Boobies
You take life from the deserving,
Strip strong women bare;
Tear a hole inside us,
Til we fear what might be there;
The lives you take are precious,
Though you discard them without thought,
Regardless of who they were,
You leave them all to rot;
You make us fear our bodies,
That which we should be proud;
Brilliant and beautiful women,
You leave off feeling cowed;
The disease you spread destroys us,
Cuts out our hearts and souls,
But the worse thing that you could do,
Is leave us feeling un-whole…
