society is a female
but no lady is she
she whispers seductive promise
lies within a lie
she tells the young
follow the media
we will show you what is right
no matter how destructive
she tells the women
they are weak and lesser
second class citizens within the whole
men will always rule
she tells the unique
different is not better
you need to conform to what I say
regardless if it's right
she tells the men
you must be a rock
compromise and emotion makes you weak
rule with an iron fist
so heed her not
follow your own truth
live your own life as is best for you
ignore this mantrap and be happy

Hoodwinked
Another great piece I have read by you. I think I am not going to find many pieces i haven't read. You have been hoodwinked by a poetic bandit. -
Hood-winked :)
This is fabulous. Society can be a foul temptress, and can be downright pushy at times. Great take on the title. Definitely a pleasant twist from what I expected. >pixxie<

Right on, we don't need the mantrap. We have enough of those altready. Society should not dictate how we live.
