Women and OilA Poem by Ainslie
My dignity vanished long ago
See they drilled it out of me like oil from Alaska Oil and women are similar Neither one of them can stand up for their own rights One doesn't have a voice and one does - just no gray haired man with a $2 haircut who can make a difference will listen Except when a strong woman causes a hurricane Usually one without dignity but with a smidge of what's right And politicians wish to dismantle these types by breaking laws so ideas can have rights rather than people Society is teaching young girls that they should be passive about their rights 'Cause apparently the uterus is man's property rather than the person it resides in Every once-in-a-while Wendy Davis' appear Fighting gasoline with kerosene causing an explosion While keeping a positive self image despite what everyone surrounding is saying Even when man attempts to strip her Of the little she's born with
