Emasculate

Clinging to tragic tradition
Shackled by inherited lies
The subliminal indoctrination
Of who is wrong and who is right
Even in this enlightened age
Equality’s still a dirty word
And expectations still dictate
Time to feel
Who can speak and be heard
Even today
These remnants of a primitive culture
The forlorn cadence of recrimination
Learn to relent before intelligence
It’s about time we got with the programme
Emasculate
Years now, it’s time to learn
The wisdom of humility
Time to feel the primal strength
Of unchained femininity
Even today
These remnants of a primitive culture
The forlorn cadence of recrimination
Learn to relent before intelligence
It’s about time we got with the programme
The primal strength
