Fear the Jeers

Fear the Jeers

She heard the word slut

Wasn't even uttered

Just a glint

In some mother's eyes

Reflecting the mini skirt

And ridiculous pumps

Three more beers

Goodbye jeers

They couldn't be right

Kneeling in pews

Praying for condemnation

So assured of salvation

Her waist was tight

Despite the yoga

His number was lost

Or never there

Two more pills

Goodbye jeers

Her parents were fraught

With her despair

A future so bright

No one would care

Inconvenient life

Not yet human

Four hundred dollars

Goodbye jeers

Hello tears

His mind was blurry

Not sure where he was

No discourse was hurried

From his little lips

But alive he was

Devoid of fears

His mommy was fraught with

Something called jeers

From parents and peers

He wasn't sure

What that was

He wanted to make them

Go by the way

Then he went

Goodbye jeers

Hello tears
