asked mom. she was
always scared i'd
fall for a muslim.
what's his community?
asked someone else
and there i thought
what a pity!
oh god! what he is not bong?
its a heresy
we have reared you for so long
and always let you be free
for what?? to do this
trying to gnaw at your leash?
he is a good boy ma,
doesn't that matter?
he loves me and me him
y does that make you sadder?
no no it cant be done
good boys are everywhere
search within the community
you will find someone good and fair.
is this a bargain ma?
am i only a commodity?
cant i be trusted
to choose for myself?
you can.
but within the limits we define
never daring to cross the line
with the "good girl" sign
hanging from your neck.
in here we don't love and marry.
we compromise and be merry.
