Messoh Vincent Poet Didactic

Beautiful Irony

Women of society dressed in silk
Thin pink spangly dresses that shine
Viciously blown away by the wind:
At all not but all never afraid
Ever to expose naked bodies
Swathed in extreme beauty.


Tis the elegance of our society
The ambivalence of our dexterity
The vicious tenacity of their temerity
The very ambivalence of this beauty
The hidden nature in it of this beauty
The hidden nature in it of this levity
Is a promiscuous social beauty.

Forgive my ignorance and please explain your meaning to me a bit more. ; ) Messoh Vincent June 16, 2016 at 5:01 AM In the concept of the hypocritical African society, modern women are condemned and termed promiscuous for exposing parts of their body by the very men who would pay expensively to go and watch nude women dance in strip clubs during the night.
