Liberation Baby
She's cute! She's astute!
An orgasm in a suit!
Emancipated. Liberated. Visually masturbated!
But still,intellectually mute!
She's one of the men now.
One of the guys.
Immune to all the macho lies.
She's passed beyond equality and reached her ultimate prize.
She's a suffragette of another time, spitting venom from her stage!
Spilling out the hatred from her sublimated rage.
Whilst trapped behind the golden bars that circle freedom's cage.
She's the equal of the vipers
who slither through the street,
and gather under the neon lights
where greed and usury meet.
She's equalled man and beaten him.
Smashed his arrogant shell!
But she never rose to meet him.
He simply took her down to hell
