I will be a good girl, my parents say I should.
A passerby subtly clutched her *****.
I heaved a sigh.
I will be a good girl, my teachers say I should
A boss held her *****.
I perfected my mascara.
I will be a good girl, my aunt say I should
A man forced a kiss.
I reapplied my lipstick.
I will be a good girl, my neighbors say I should
A husband fired violent words.
I closed my eyes bowed my head.
I will be a good girl, my friends say I should
A rapper *****.
I cried tears of blood.
I will be a good girl, my society says I should
A woman was bled to death.
I stood emotionless.  
They said be a good girl…
Good is tears, Good is blood.
Good is sudor, Good is action.
Good is sacrifice, Good is revenge.
Good is joy, Good is deaths.
One day Goodness will be re-defined,
When inside these women, is born Keres.
