Johnny Syndrome

Women who live singly and privately
suddenly become preys to fleas,
who are seeking self serving opportunities,
If they aren't married they are considered
old maids, or bombarded with innuendoes
and clandestine propositions,
The lengths people will go through to make acquisitions,
includes tales of work and corporate compensations,
when deep down it is the "Johnny Syndrome" set in
motion to cause corruption and defamation,
Why do folks assume that unmarried women need to
be controlled?
Does being married mean many women have sold their souls?
or are husbands really "Johns" in disguise,
Our changing world is proving to be not so nice......
