Teach the Young Girls

Teach the Young Girls- Teach Them This to love who they are and who they will become Make them wise about their bodies so that they may cherish living inside Fill them to brimming with faith and confidence Set them to soul-searching as their young minds grow so they might build a solid foundation for a woman who is fierce and strong Knowledge is power Truth is mortar for the soul Teach the young girls the blessing of self esteem Then no man, no woman, no word or careless hand can hold them down

Ah, Sherry, you have captured the essence of what society should be doing, but is shamefully not doing with their naked women ads, and their demeaning attitudes. You now need to write a poem about teaching the young men. Unless you have already done this. A very necessary and wonderful write, my friend.
