The World Needs Bitches

Imagine my surprise

What I just read

I can’t believe my eyes

what was just said

The retort to a woman’s cry for her rights

Witness below how bigotry bites

“For Marry verily would wear the breeches

God help poor silly men from such usurping bitches”

Take me back slightly before 1800

To the time of this poets fame

When equality first thundered

Let me defend this brave dame

All alone was this brave soul

Daring to stand up to this man

While the world thought her tasteless and droll

Her radical ideas have a timeless span

Although I cannot deny she had a mean streak

She had every right to be bitter

The future of women was looking rather bleak

Thank God she wasn’t a quitter

The pen is mightier than the sword

And Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

With it she fought off a presumptuous horde

Yet for the sake of men she still secretly mourned

The world needed a total bitch

To put straight these haughty boys

To get humanity out of a glitch

So she made a lot of noise

She kicked and screamed

But in only the most dignified way

For equality that she could have only dreamed

I only wish how she could have seen us today

In a time when no one believed in human rights

She helped start the process in which we all know

In a dark room she turned on the lights

Now human beings can grow

People once laughed

Now our ignorance has shrank

For that, Mary Wollstonecraft

Is the person to thank
