Twerking Is Not Working

Twerking is not working
It's selling your body for sex

The thing I seen was an awful scene
Even shared with the family pet

My visit to strip clubs in my past
Was now revieled with clarity

What I did back then was for 
pleasure
And certainly not for charity

When a dog learns a trick
You give a dog a treat

Beg,  roll over,  and lay down
Can make a dog real neat

But treat my daughter like a dog
That follows her masters commands

Goes beyond undignified
And brings shame to my"C"lan

None of us are immune to greed
But how much money do you need? 

Or is this display a cry for freedom
Go, Your free from what we've seen

But now your the slave of the Devil
Beg, roll over and lay down!!!

But you may hear different sounds
But basically it's all the same

One day you'll find 
In your own time

That real freedom
Is power to say no

This poem was very emotional and deep. I enjoyed the phenomenal use of burlesque format, as it's something I do not often see in modern poets' work. This was a great poem, and I love reading good burlesque poems. You've even inspired me to write a burlesque of my own! -Jacob Always

The clubs my life for years..Almost anything and anybody for the right amount.Only satisfying for a moment..Never lasted,,Great diversion but not a lifestyle..This only leads to crash and burn..

are you referring to her silly dancing? I saw Richard Simmons on tv crying for her, saying she was crying out for love. Too many people crying out for love these days.

wow Situation....the further I got into your poem....the more intricate your art revealed...increasing in intensity and TRUTH.....you are correct.....self control is real freedom......mindful, always of what is right and good, not simply selfish pleasure.....which...if you saw on the faces of stars in the crowd.....was pure delight, similar to the high-priests attending roman orgies....(schneikie...how did i go there?) eneways.... your poem is spot on and artistic.... jimbo
