Maria Valentina

A woman branded a w***e at 15

To think of no better example

You could look at her from foot to temple

She was named Maria

From her family the Valentina

She stood atop others

with grace that never falters 

She pitted men of class and honor

to fight against each other

Her beauty was one to blind common men

It is because of this that women branded her a sin

Harlot they Shouted

Temptation they Shouted

Skin her !

Hang her !

She Deceived our men !

Shouted the insecure old hens 

I watched from afar 

seeing it all unfold

I asked for this to be written

for their stories to be told

The ones you brand evil

is a snake that wouldn't attack

but harass them too much

and they will bite back
