A Rhyme for the Men

By Julia Lima, TIWP Student

a slut. a whore. a prude. a bore.
one man, two men, three men, four.
sexualization and hate galore!

you can’t shame here,
you can’t shame there,
you can’t shame her anywhere!

short skirt, long skirt, no skirt at all,
small girl, thin girl, wide girl, tall,
in the car, on the beach, or at the mall.

you can’t shame here,
you can’t shame there,
you can’t shame her anywhere!

in the kitchen, on the bed, and on your cue,
women are not objects for you to just view,
we live for ourselves and not for only you.

you can’t shame here,
you can’t shame there,
you can’t shame her anywhere!

every woman is strong, smart, and brave,
no matter dark, light or if she’s shaved,
she is perfect from the womb to grave.

you can’t shame here,
you can’t shame there,
you can’t shame her anywhere!

next time you see
a woman like her or me,
i think we can all agree
she is full of magic, undeniably

so remember,
a slut. a whore. a prude. a bore.
one man, two men, three men, four.
your actions will stand no more.
