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.

I am not sure how to comment on this poem because after reading it three times I am afraid I just didn't understand it. Forgive my ignorance and please explain your meaning to me a bit more. ; )

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.
