you will be used by men
all those passionate kisses
you will be abused by them
all those hard knocks and lasting hurts
you will be told you are free
sometime in the malignant night
all this cruel humanity
somewhere in the unforgiving dark
you will believe them before you flee
so much selfish greed and vanity
one challenging heartbeat at a time
leaving you wond'ring if true love is insanity
all those kisses you will no doubt find
hopefully you wish upon love's devoted poetry
if only every line would make sense and honestly rhyme
but you are woman
snatched and captured
enraptured by worldly notoriety
you live and try to blossom
fragile blooms in this brutal world
cruelly ruled by a vast paternal past time
where women's dreams are dashed
most in kind
with all that you've been given
men have coerced you
both body and mind
you've been driven
a holy ghost has given life
on paleomagnetic earth
a careless host as it is
in mankind's unforgiving heaven
