IT’S A MAN’S WORLD To The End of The End!
I am a woman. Simply.
To look at me is a sin — I must be veiled.
To hear my voice is a temptation that must be hushed.
For me to think is a crime so I must not be schooled.
I am to bear it alland die quietly, without complaint.
Only then can I be admitted to the court of God
where I must repose naked on a marble cloud
feed virtuous men succulent grapes pour them wine from golden vats
and murmur songs of love…
