Influence

I dream of a time When I speak my mind For mothers For women For Her But all of this dreaming Has got me rethinking Oh what Sort of Ruckus I'd Stir What people would think The size of the stink I'd cause With the Right I Deserve So who has the right then To stand up and fight then For honor For pride and for Her Well bring out your colors We'll stand by eachother Together We all Will be Heard So First to the items Whose creators defined them As beauty As sexy As Hers Here's to the UGGZ That whored us like thugs You keep Your leathers And Furs Here's to Ed Hardy The life of the party With vodka and coozies To serve Here's to your Secret Victoria you keep it We don't Need your lines or your curves Here's to our Coach Who took the approach That women Are defined By a Purse Here's to the poor Design of Couture Your Juicy Fit tight And looked Worse But the strongest conformity I've seen is sorority Your t-shirts The billions Dispersed Now onto the role models You know one that you've modeled The great Women We see On TV So thank you Mrs. Cyrus For helping inspire us To look Better At parties In Boots Thank you Mrs. Gaga Your language of blahblah And sorry You dropped All your Clothes oops Thank you Mrs. Hilton No really you're great when Your sex Is firmly Your Roots And thank you Mrs. Simpson An honorable mention Just dumb With the Hair that Suits (In a different form now in order to provide emphasis ; ) And last but not least It's Palin the beast And here My heart Goes Out To a gender in pain From a woman insane The world Would be Better Without Now is it easy this far To see how we are affected by material things? And if you can be the leader And give influence the finger Then stand And spread Those Wings

Excellent commentary on the status of women in society and those who shape the opinions men have of them, Micah! I especially like the reference to Palin -- we're on the same train of thought here. Wish we could unite and show more power in our numbers. Some say "we've come a long way," but there is still much father to go! Enjoyed this tremendously. Very well composed. Love, Carolyn
