The Bleeding Shoulders
BLEEDING SHOULDERS,YOU ARE UNTOUCHABLE AND UNREACHABLE
THOSE WHO GET TO HAVE AND HOLD YOU,ARE HIGHLY REGARDED
THEY ARE ENVIED BY MANY AND DESPISED BY MANY AS WELL
BLEEDING SHOULDERS,YOUARE EVERY WOMANS DREAM
BUT ONLY THE SELECTED FEW ARE CHOSEN,OR SHOULD I SAY SUPPOSED TO BE CHOSEN BASED ON MERIT
BLEEDING SHOULDERS,YOU ARE DISCRIMINATIVE
ONLY THE MONA LISAS AND MARILYN MONROES ARE GIVEN FIRST PREFERENCE
THE FRANKENSTEINS AND THE JEEPERS CREEPERS ARE MARGINALISED
AMONGST THE MARGINALISED,LIE THE TRUE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALES OF TOMORROW
PEOPLE WHO WILL CARRY YOUR IMAGE AND UPLIFT IT
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE THE ART THAT HAS GOT NO BOUNDARIES
NO HOLES BARRED
BLEEDING SHOULDERS,YOU ARE UNTOUCHABLE AND UNREACHABLE
