A Plea to Men

Gentlemen, hear this humble plea,
Try harder, please, to truly see,
A woman’s sensuality, bold and free,
Is not a call to claim or bind,
She’s spirit, soul, and heart entwined,
Not a prize your hands should seek to decree.

Her photos, shared with pride or art,
Don’t make her yours to tear apart,
A glimpse of skin, a bared true heart,
Doesn’t license crude reply,
No cocks sent forth, no matter why,
She’s not a thing to trade or chart.

She’s free to glow, to feel alive,
To revel in herself and thrive,
Men, we must do better, strive,
To honor feelings, not assume,
Her beauty’s not your lust’s costume,
Respect her worth, let kindness drive.
