DOUBLE STANDARDS
DOUBLE STANDARDS
Be honest...
you too were young and in love
felt the adrenaline rush
when his hands brushed
your heaving breasts,
your lipstick lips crushed
with kisses that never ended
did you not enjoy every moment
did you not feel much desired
did you not feel very special
Be honest...
you too wanted to taste love's depths
you too wanted to experience
throes of bodies satiation
however scared you were of
it's consequences
however wrong you felt, going
against your conscience
throwing caution to the wind
you too wanted the forbidden
So why...
do you now sit on judgement
critical of the present generation
when they declare love in the open
unafraid if it lasts or breaks
live as partners unmarried
unafraid of what society says
it's entirely their business
aren't they being more honest
rather than being sly and coquettish
