Why Woman?

No need to draw on your face,
we can still see your eyes behind the mask.
caked on and running
you cant hide the scars and cracks.
Your lips may sing
but your heart is bleeding
fingernails too long,
you cant work with the earth
plastic inside
plastic ouside
your fake.
What happened to your hair?
It used to flow wild, and you adorned it with flowers,
now you defile it with dyes and fake exstensions.
What happened to the sun on your skin?
You used to bask and lay in the fields,
now you expose yourself to a machine and sprays.
What happened to your clothing?
It used to be elegant and modest, now you swipe cards
to buy jeans that dont fit and dresses that are too short.
What happened to your body?
It used to be full and beautiful,
your withering away because of a face
you saw in a magazine.
What happened to your voice?
It used to speak of things liberal, things true.
Now you smack gum and rant about designers
and pedicures.
What happened to your man?
You used to love with your whole-heart,
used to breath life into his lungs,
now hes gone,
with a skank from the office.
While you sit on your bathroom floor tears
melting in your ralph lauren.
What happened to your children?
You used to strap them to your back and
hold back the storms of chaos,
now you pay others to feed the fruit of your belly.
now you push professers to teach what you should.
now you give air instead of love, paper instead of wisdom.
now you send off instead of welcome.
What happened to your grace?
You used to charm suiters with such air and dignity,
now you love for money,
give to pigs,
What happened to your respect?
You used to hold your self high,
walk straight and proud,
now you fill yourself with cheap liquor
and crawl on the ground.
