3-Word Prompt: Back Flip Hoes

A man’s a man,

I suppose

Whether he imparts wisdom

Or can’t disclose

His inner thoughts

For fear they rose

From deep inside

His dark shadows.

A woman’s a woman

I profess

Whether in a suit

Or in a dress.

She’s still a woman

Quite regardless

Of having kids

Or choosing childlessness.

He can speak in clips

Or flip to exhausting prose

He’s still who’s heard

In the throes

Of business meetings

And it goes to show …

She can be dressed in rags

Or with finesse,

As a hoe or

A goddamn goddess —

When it comes to her station

She must announce she’s

Hashtag blessed.

Because when, in fact,

They’re on their backs,

Only one of us is being praised

And the other will

Have their character attacked.
