Youth, beauty, and health,
With a touch of subservience
Gets some ladies closer to power
If you align with the patriarchy
You get some of the benefits
By enforcing their rules
Make sure others fall in line
Compete for the limited resources
Men are stingy with their affection
And fickle with devotion
And there’s a time clock
Once youth, beauty, or health fade
You become one with the many
Just another discarded lady.
