A girl is ***** but wait for the punchline Except it is not a joke, And it is an actual punch Hitting her left cheek As I sit in a coffee shop, Her story is being played Through the speakers, while playing on the news Everyone giving their own opinion A couple of men sit at the table beside me The bald one states that she asked for it My eyes roll as a drop of coffee runs down my chin The one with a large mustache laughs States, "her mother was a failure." The third man ignores his ignorant friends But instead listens to the young girl's story Bald one says her clothes were too tight Mustached one states that the skirt was too short Her knees were showing Knees that are now bruised and ****** The third man states that it wasn't the FAULT OF THE GIRL But instead the FAULT of the man He states that a woman should be able to wear WHAT she pleases WHEN she pleases The bald and the mustached nod in agreement One says that her clothes aren't the problem The other says that women need RESPECT As a woman, covered head to toe walks past The men stare, except the third Because it is not the woman's fault And he understands that But it is the FAULT of men Who "cannot control it."

Men who "cannot control it."
A girl is ***** but wait for the punchline Except it is not a joke, And it is an actual punch Hitting her left cheek As I sit in a coffee shop, Her story is being played Through the speakers, while playing on the news Everyone giving their own opinion A couple of men sit at the table beside me The bald one states that she asked for it My eyes roll as a drop of coffee runs down my chin The one with a large mustache laughs States, "her mother was a failure." The third man ignores his ignorant friends But instead listens to the young girl's story Bald one says her clothes were too tight Mustached one states that the skirt was too short Her knees were showing Knees that are now bruised and ****** The third man states that it wasn't the FAULT OF THE GIRL But instead the FAULT of the man He states that a woman should be able to wear WHAT she pleases WHEN she pleases The bald and the mustached nod in agreement One says that her clothes aren't the problem The other says that women need RESPECT As a woman, covered head to toe walks past The men stare, except the third Because it is not the woman's fault And he understands that But it is the FAULT of men Who "cannot control it."
I was having a meeting with a few friends in a coffee shop when I overheard a conversation similar to this happen
