Abusing

A drink won’t hurt

You might get a bit dizzy but

a drink won’t hurt.

Because you are such a bold flirt…..

I’ll pour enough to silence consent.

If tomorrow brings a lament,

a drink won’t hurt.

Abuse won’t end

until a woman wins freedom.

Abuse won’t end

because women have to defend

what they wear doesn’t equate whore.

With minds steeped in Jezebel lore

abuse won’t end.
