A Side Chick Legend

I am a side chick I have existed from time immemorial In ancient times I was a prostitute In biblical times a concubine Otherwise known as a mistress The other woman She that never came home A woman tucked away somewhere In all centuries I have lived on the sidelines Docile, submissive and unsung Pandering to sexual needs Of wayward husbands Though I live in obscurity I am a legend of all times No husbands can resist me Some risk it all for me I am the sword of Damocles Hanging over every marriage I am a shadow that follows Men under my spell As they keep running to me for more From cold matrimonial beds While I keep devising new strategies To be their everlasting nemesis As a dynamic legend To remain relevant in my trade I seek out stars and the wealthy And transform to a baby Mama With a permanent cheque book And a swollen bank account Condemn me as much as you will Despise me as much as you can Criticize me as irresponsible I remain indestructible And a global citizen Until men and women Live in perfect relationship But that remains a mirage Until then the legend lives on!
