Oh So You Twerk?

I laugh when I meet women
  Who demand respect.
  But who are so quick
  To drop their self worth to the floor
  For three minutes of 2short.
I laugh when I meet women
  Who refuse to be degraded
  But sing along
  Loud and proud
  Every word
  To their favorite lil Wayne track.
I weep when I meet women
  Who adore mainstream hip hop.
  To allow the persistence
  Of derogation
  For brilliant and beautiful women
  Brings my chest
  Unsettling feelings.
I become distraught knowing
  Men create the chains
  That woman shackle around their waist
  For a taste of conformity.
  That does not allow them
  Real freedom.
Its a notion
I wish
I did not know
All too well.
