 why is it that when men cheat--

women are put on a pedestal?

'oh, she mustn't have treated him good,

oh girl, if it happens more than twice maybe you're the problem,

girl, poor you, what are you going to do?'

it is almost taken as a given

that men cheat.

'that is what they do,

it's genetic,

they need a little something something on the side'.

But

when women cheat,

she becomes a disgrace.

there isn't a fault greater than that.

it's a sin almost--

the way people talk of 

how she's the disgrace of the fairer sex.

Loyalty is fickle nowadays. 

romance is dead, people are lonely,

and we don't know how to love anymore.

gone are the days of holding on to your letters

written by a hand five thousand miles away

who comes home twice in a decade.

it would be madness to blindly trust someone like that

today.

and this means--

we're doomed

as a species

who have forgotten how to love.

give love, show love, appreciate love.
