When Ladies Were
I wish time could reverse back,
And bring the older days flashback,
When ladies were real women,
Who could work smart like men,
And provide all needs for the family,
Without complaining of the tiredness lily,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
Gone are the best times,
When ladies could sing song rhymes,
While carrying water pots on their head,
Planning what the family will take overhead,
Ensuring everybody is satisfied,
Without being so notified,
Old is gold,ladies, seek advice.
They had respect for everyone,
The husband was the one and only one,
The head of the entire family,
Who was treated with respect fully,
His food was always timely and special,
Simply because he had a wife material,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
Dressings were very decent,
Leave alone the clothes of the recent,
Exposing a body was a taboo,
Contrary to the current ones full of tatoo,
They never wore tight clothings,
Their goodies were deeply in the fittings,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
During marriage, a lot was followed,
First, hard work was highly allowed,
Lazy wives were a total disgrace,
And never got any love embrace,
Good character was a virtue,
It spiced the marriage course due,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
Virginity was so precious,
Current ladies say losing it is obvious,
They can't recall their hymens intact,
Saying practice makes perfect is a fact,
And unbroken virginity is boring,
Coz you need an early training,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
Alcohol to them was an abomination,
Any suspected drinking attracted excommunication,
But nowadays drinking is a norm,
Ladies take all sorts of wine and call it a reform,
Soon they will give birth to skinny babies,
As opposed to the older days non-alcoholic ladies,
Old is gold,ladies, seek advice.
A decent lady will never take drugs,
A sane one will take milk from mugs,
A responsible lady will never expose her body,
Instead she will keep it safe for somebody,
She will stay in the house,watch over her kids,
Instead of being in clubs,smoking and opening lids,
Old is gold,ladies, seek advice.
Dear sisters,future mothers,
Take your time,think on the life matters,
Visit the older mothers bigger than you,
Let them teach and be a role model to you,
Follow their worthy life changing teachings,
And after it will follow a life of blessings,
Old is gold,ladies,seek advice.
