Culture For One Shame For Another

Shame for one culture for another On a vacation to North Africa It Was a beautiful day A hot tropical weather What a sunny afternoon Laying on a mat Enjoying the energy of nature Is good to relax with a such beautiful view But my beautiful day got sow With two ladies Like I stair Looking around watching I saw a lady laying on a Mat besides me By my left side She was on a beach mood Like a wear She wore a sexy bra And a skinny pant Hmmm.... What a beautiful creature Woof, I admire her smile Not too long we went into a conversation Not realising She said to me who is that woman by your side On my right was a lady siting on a mat with her hole body fully covered She wore a long black gown only the eyes you could see They skinny lady on my left ask how can one dress this way to a hot beach I mean is hot for crying out loud Like she speaks not noticing How loud her voice Echo's The lady on my right got mad She quickly responded with an anger sorry this is my culture I don't need to open my body like A prostitute I respect my body every where I am I am a woman that is loyal up just only for one man Only him can see my body Don't judge me for what I believe For I have been coming to this beach every time dress this way Is my choice The lady in the left Replied is hot don't you feel hot I mean this is a shame What a blind culture Woof it was like a joke The both ladies got into a physical fight Like a Referee I Begin to separate them I wonder who was right? And who was wrong? Just like a war of mentality When one culture is like a shame to another.
