Assumptions:
A word time and time again
That makes an ass out of you and me
Let me explain.
A prostitute,
Someone who sleeps around for money
A person who enjoys sex.
A whore,
A woman who has pleasure
In having more than one companion
A lady with flirtatious ways,
A mistress a cunning thief.
A girl who was born with no direction
No one, to love her
Guide her or teach her rules.
Each of these characters are women
A mother
A friend
A victim.
This poem is not written to offend thee
Nor to accuse you
I write these words merely
To let the world know
That words can be powerful.
A prostitute an individual that has been broken
A whore a child who was abused
A mistress a woman caught up in a vicious, contagious love triangle
Woman please know your worth
You are precious
You are nurtures
Without you Kings and Queens would not of be born.
You are Rubies, radiant and rare
There is no jewel on this earth
That is greater or better than you
Women please remember your worth.
