this ain't no whore swag
this verse is for women
who fight for the real cause
domestic abuse,
sex trafficking,
gender discrimination,
ageism,
and all the other isms.
this ain't a woman
who just takes a man's seed
as well as his curses
and fears his fist.
this is a woman,
who's got her own thing
pays her bills
and buys her bling
a homemaker
a teacher
a mother
a thinker
an artist.
a woman,
with tongue like blade,
courage of steel,
with a soft heart
that nurtures and heals
yes, I am a woman
I like roses
but I prefer a revolution.
