Poet\'s Dream

Boys will be boys

Hide your daughters

Hide them away

Hide them, hide them

For the wolves are out to play

Make sure their skirts cover their thighs

Make sure their hair is out of sight

Make sure they don’t walk down a street past a certain hour

Make sure they’re always kind, never sour

The wolves will lurk around the corners

You’d never suspect a father or brother

Because “boys will be boys”

And they “didn’t mean it”

They hurt you because they like you

No 

They hurt you because they like it

 

What’s the worst that can happen to the dear little wolf?

Maybe an essay 

What about the girl?

The one who got SA’ed

 People ask, “what were you wearing?’

“Did you turn him away?”

Because that’s all that they think

It’s about what you did

To lure them in

 

Hide your daughters 

Hide them away

Hide them, hide them

For the wolves are out to play

 

Now that’s her own blood on her coat

Her face shamed red

She has bruises in icky places, fingers branded on her skin

Silent she stays, the battle she cannot win

It will cling to her body, her mind

She’ll carry it with her for the rest of her life

Now there isn’t much she can do

Except make sure, the same thing doesn’t happen to her little Daisy Lu

Hide your daughter\'s 

Hide them away

Hide them, hide them

For the wolves are out to play.
