degrading etchings

stupidity sinking through skin 

simply by a touch of fingers

reminders of what we do not need 

yet all in the same 

what we crave 

greedy hands reaching for what pours out of caverns 

the gold of today

information worthy of a friends ear

and depending upon your gender 

depending upon your internal being 

and the anatomy you've been burdened with 

different titles will become constant visitors  

they will not only knock at your door 

they will break down your walls 

nesting in your brain 

reminders of what we have done 

what we now consider a big mistake 

for my name is no longer

Sarah

it is no longer 

Eve

it is no longer 

Margret-- 

my new name is a classic 

one women have been hearing for years 

my new name is Whore 

let it ring in your ears

it is carved into my skin

so call me by name 

just make sure to remember 

soon you will receive a name too
