You didn’t believe me
When I told you of your enrapturing beauty
A gorgeous sight to behold
You never do
Damn beautiful women
You couldn’t understand
My great pleasure in caressing your naked skin
And nothing more
But to adore
Another goddess
Whose looks of self loathing
Into the ever present mirror of society
Never cease
Regardless of how intelligent
Regardless of the genius contained within
Oh why do we hate our very own skin?
Can you not see your power simply reflected in the other?
Rodin, Botticelli and yes even Rubens
Took the glorious female body
Sculpted, painted
Yet a masterpiece alone
Is her shapely flesh and bone
The creator of all life
The glimmering hope of humanity
Pushing, pushing against brutality and death
Screaming out for justice
Gripping my hand as I take away your breath
And we give birth to a new world
