Women and Oil

Women and Oil

A 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
