The Prom

You went to prom?
If I cut my fringe zigzag
And die it black,
Should I wear drainpipes too?
You went to prom,
Masqueraded with the macho kids,
Kids that are just that,
Young,
And didn’t realise what a man-fest the scene is,
You went to prom?
Alternative fashion-she diva,
You only hang with the beautiful,
I bet your parents don’t understand
Your version of ‘beautiful’
After all,
Your aesthetic is life,
Never touched a book or thought about politics,
Never thought about the music,
You should play an instrument she-diva,
And listen truly to the sound of life,
But how tight are your tee-shirts?
Do they restrict the blood to your heart so much
You forgot how to feel compassion?
You went to prom?
You went to prom?
You went to prom?
You infested my culture
With your old hierarchy
And you took it to the prom.
