It Was Never Better

It Was Never Better

Times long gone are better forgotten

Those long encumbered woes

Stales smells and dead horses

And pretty maids all in a row

Bowers of women who never dance

Waiting for men to pick them

Hoping for a match to further their houses

And children to be the next victim

On and on the cycle goes

Never ceasing never halting

When will right the world?

When will stop this faulting?

Women everywhere be proud of who you are

Stand, be brave and bold

One day you will be counted

Make sure you break the mold

Sexual Politics

Sexual Politics

Endless potential in motion

A chance, perpetually begun

The world is your oyster my friend

Joining the battle is half the fun

Call out the trumpets of glory

Time to start a new story

We begin by tilting at blades

Where are the giants to slay?

We must rescue the honorable maids!

But the maids no longer need rescuing

In fact, they’re the ones raining fire!

Fairy Tales are hopelessly outdated

But without them you never feel sated

So we’re left with an unknown system

It’s very hard to assist them

To help slay the dragons, it’s hard to know

When people don’t behave as they should

Who’s to remember which side is good?
