Twerking Is Not Working

Twerking is not working It's selling your body for sex The thing I seen was an awful scene Even shared with the family pet My visit to strip clubs in my past Was now revieled with clarity What I did back then was for pleasure And certainly not for charity When a dog learns a trick You give a dog a treat Beg, roll over, and lay down Can make a dog real neat But treat my daughter like a dog That follows her masters commands Goes beyond undignified And brings shame to my"C"lan None of us are immune to greed But how much money do you need? Or is this display a cry for freedom Go, Your free from what we've seen But now your the slave of the Devil Beg, roll over and lay down!!! But you may hear different sounds But basically it's all the same One day you'll find In your own time That real freedom Is power to say no (In light of Miley Cyrus' recent activities)

This poem was very emotional and deep. I enjoyed the phenomenal use of burlesque format, as it's something I do not often see in modern poets' work. This was a great poem, and I love reading good burlesque poems. You've even inspired me to write a burlesque of my own! -Jacob Always

The clubs my life for years..Almost anything and anybody for the right amount.Only satisfying for a moment..Never lasted,,Great diversion but not a lifestyle..This only leads to crash and burn..

are you referring to her silly dancing? I saw Richard Simmons on tv crying for her, saying she was crying out for love. Too many people crying out for love these days.

wow Situation....the further I got into your poem....the more intricate your art revealed...increasing in intensity and TRUTH.....you are correct.....self control is real freedom......mindful, always of what is right and good, not simply selfish pleasure.....which...if you saw on the faces of stars in the crowd.....was pure delight, similar to the high-priests attending roman orgies....(schneikie...how did i go there?) eneways.... your poem is spot on and artistic.... jimbo
