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.
