Shameless

Shameless
She is humble, always courteous
Always smiling, always sweet
Such a lady, what a woman
Come what may, she stays discreet
Many a man will tell his lady
’That is how a wife should be
Unassuming, not demanding
Just obey, don’t disagree’
She is humble, and she’s quiet
She will never say too much
But speak to her and you will notice
With a lot she’s out of touch
Her demeanor is intriguing
But then again, it’s also weird
For she has no recognition 
Of the things that should be feared
In her world, all is well and rosy
She knows not how to relate
To another woman’s anguish
For she knows not how to hate
And though hate is seldom virtuous
It will keep what’s bad at bay
So this makes her very tender
And many will just have their way
But she’s humble, and it's lovely
Keep her silent and oppressed
And make sure she gets the warning
To not appear disturbed or stressed
Keep her smiling, it serves a purpose
Our ego is at stake
Doesn’t matter what they’re saying
We prefer her to be fake
She is humble, she’s a minion
She makes life easy to say the least
She’s a toy, a gift, a blessing
To every vile and shameless beast.
