To The Hoes That Propose

Humans espouse for the goal of procreation

And our ideas conform in a similar gestation 

But at what point in this social habitation 

Did man become catalyst for marital foundation

To me this gender role seems out-dated 

And I can’t understand why it’s rarely debated 

In an era when women are not confiscated 

I must still ask her father to be consummated

My sense of self worth feels confined to a ration 

When defined by social customs and not my own passion

And if my love disagrees, with a face pale and ashen

Then she can marry a simp who’s tame and old fashion

I’ll like the Instagram post right after they share it

Before I render trite vows like an obedient parrot 

I laugh at those coveting wealth, just to inherit

For the uninhibited woman is more worthy of merit

Now before you accuse me on acts of sedition 

I only aim to shine light on our social disposition 

Too many feel obliged by vague superstition 

Symbolic ideas do not give life definition 

It’s natural at times to feel apprehension

But don’t confuse meaning with social convention 

Many gals disagree, but I don’t fear reprehension 

For I only need one to propose, to get my attention
