Sex Discrimination for Friend Damian

poem

 

 

 

 

Sex Discrimination.

 

She trusted and she was betrayed

At least according to the maid.

She swore that she was innocent

 and unaware of my intent.

 

The maiden lied as women do.

They enjoy first and then they rue .

Though it takes two to play loves game

 it seems that I must bear the blame.

 

Why should she be seen as guilt free.

 When she is just as blameworthy,

but she will live and I will die.

Her father means to hang me high.

 

Although I am not innocent.

I am entitled to resent

the obvious inequality.

I have to die but she goes free.

a light hearted treatment of heavy subject matter, yet the message is not lost at all in this piece. this sort of thing does unfortunately still happen. Well penned.
