You speak and they say you don’t have the right to.
You keep your
silence, and you are ignored.
If there’s no planet you’re a satellite to,
You cannot be a
player on the board.
Smile and be pretty, like an ingénue.
Learn how to sew
and never drop a stitch.
When you act independent, you’re a shrew.
When you say what
you think, you are a bitch.
No matter how much you have in the bank,
The currency is
always counterfeit.Spend it, and they will make you walk the plank.
Times may have
changed, but men can’t change for shit:
Speak softly
and they’ll always be engaged.
They’ll woo the
wild, but only wed the caged.
