A Lock & It's Key

This is more done to so the double standard between men and women. Women being told to be chaste and men to be the opposite. Enjoy!! :D or utterly disapprove!! :P

A Lock And Its Key

A lock is special

It guards things of value.

A belief, a moral, an image to stand to.

This lock should keep safe, what it has to hold.

Because who knows? It could be treasure, or gold!

With every lock, comes it's key,

A special fit, cut perfectly.

And one day it will share,

What the lock keeps secretly.

Sadly, not every lock waits for its special key.

Some locks are picked, left open you see.

Now this is a bad lock

Something we frown upon,

Because what good is a lock,

When it's treasure is gone?

So the lock is tossed

To guard nothing of value.

No morals, beliefs, no image to stand to.

But then there is the key,

Whom which we love!

It opens any lock,

A gift from above.

We call it a master, 

For its gift of persuasion.

It opens many locks,

And holds treasure invasions!

But unlike the lock, this key is of value.

Because it has morals, beliefs,

And an image to stand to.

The first three lines in the first stanza are rather lovely, and I like that you repeat them throughout the poem. I could be reading off-tempo(I read it twice in my head and aloud), but the second stanza feels like it loses some of the beat. It could possibly be because the last two lines don't have a rhyme scheme like the rest of the poem does. From the fourth stanza down is brilliant. Overall, I really like this. There's just something about that second stanza that feels different from the rest of the poem, and it slightly jars you out. But you get sucked back into it really quickly. I like it.
