Todays Ideal Wowan
Short Skirt, seven inches above the knee
Long acrylic nails and pedicured feet
Half shirt top, exposing of the breasts,
Just covering the face with makeup, not caring about the rest
Welfare? Indeed, it goes to the dress
Sometimes th nails, or maybe a hair press
Child support? Definetly, it goes to her too,
But not the baby who's sick with the Flu
Living with a man, giving all of herself
Who gives her nothing but broken bones and bad health
No respect for mom, not even for her race,
Giving herself everyday to men just to see Washington's face
No high school diploma, blame the guy
Only eighteen years old struggling to survive
HIV positive with a life ahead,
Lucid of happiness, accepting pain instead
This is how our women are today
Shall we stive and try to make this change
Long skirt, three inches below the knee,
No acylic nails, nor the pedicured feet
Fully dressed, no welfare,
Embrasing her beauty, embracing her nappy thick hair
Without child support, no need for that,
Married happily, indeed a fact
Happy child in good health,
With a mother who obtains repect for others and herself
High school diploma and PhD
A well paying job, no HIV
Living up to her mother, honor and respect
Pride in her heritage with no regrets
taking what life gives,
Learning and flourishing from it,
That's how you become an Ideal Woman
