Thank you, women who work II

Thank you, women who work
because you are supposed to be the ones
who rely on superstition, on
faith, more than men

Thank you, women who work
because you need to rely on something,
you’re the inferior sex, remember?
rely on men, or rely on religion
either way, we’ll make you dependent

Thank you, women who work
because that sense of mystery
we attribute to you
is really the sense of hopeless fear
our religion instills on people
who don’t want to think for themselves
and turns people to us
because they have no other choice

Thank you, women who work
with your influence
we can get rid of this whole
reason thing altogether
