What do women want?
Are you repeating it like a mantra
Do you think your poetic pondering
Is tantamount to tantra?
What do women want?
I think it might be code
For “hippies chicks are where
I want to shoot my load”
What do women want?
I often hear it said
That there’s a man who knows
And he’ll kindly share his bed…
Well, I am older now, wiser and wider, free-er and fatter
Pretty cool with my karma, as I live in my mind way past all the matter
But I’m hearing from all these men “enlightened”
About what women want and I am a little frightened.
Not for me you understand
As I’ve had plenty and now I’m a gran
I’m passing under all the bridges and I’m happy in this water
But reading all this “consciousness” makes me fearful for my daughter.
Please be advised, I know that she’s wise
but she’s young and your words,
though they sound quite profound,
often turn out to be empty
So tell me “Conscious Man” do you think that you can
Do right by a girl of twenty?
Or shall we be honest and say that this isn’t really about a journey or growth
It’s about those hot yoga mamas or gullible girls or both
And how you can bag them and shag them and move on
While I witness nothing changing as you get your groove on
“Conscious Man” please don’t write with your erection
“Conscious Man” please stop this endless projection
Look to yourself and trust that my sisters are doing the same
It’s always been a dance and that’s part of the game.
Sex can be holy union born of desire
It can be a base urge it can fuel Kali’s fire
It can be used as weapon to promote the divide
It can be a journey deep inside
It’s a means to an end
As we create ourselves again and again
It is often a matter of scratching an itch
But let’s not prescribe a formula which
Decides “what women want”
you are striving behind
a false premise, and you seem blind
as you seek bump and grind
For if you really look then you’ll find
That the consciousness, drive and desire
of all Womankind
is not
a
hive mind.
