[ FS ] Figuring It Out

 
Somewhere along the course of time
In the world God engineered  
the image of the female figure  
came to be secretly revered  
 
Rather than listen with his eyes  
Man listened with his ears  
to the rhetoric of biblical verses  
mistranslated throughout the years  
 
Harmless admiration of natural art  
became psychological art of distrust  
Man convincing himself that looking  
opened him to the perils of lust  
 
guarding himself against what was seen  
since eyes were prone to deception  
and fascination with surface beauty  
was ignoring the person within  
 
Along came the flourishing sciences  
placing great emphasis on the tangible  
The proverbial glass half emptied  
only worth studying when half full  
 
Busily removing God from equations  
and replacing Him with Evolution  
during objectifaction of everything  
subjective was considered delusion  
 
Then table turnings began  
with onset of such contradiction  
for now anything beyond the observable  
was only figment of imagination  
 
And if this wasn't enough to contend with  
then came the Feminist uprising  
objecting to ladies being objectified  
for the sake of glamourizing  
 
Which brings us to Man's lowest point---  
a time of great sadness and distress  
Gone were the legs he was privy to  
Pantsuits superceded skirt and dress  
 
It should come as no mystery then  
in the world God engineered  
how the image of the female figure  
came to be secretly revered  
 
Fortunately, things are better now  
as man slowly comes to his senses  
learning to appreciate form again  
and Woman as she is
