Cover Up, Please
Why? There’s a subtle undercurrent of sexual frustration
Running through the lives of many men faced with daily stimulation.
'Cause almost everywhere a male goes, the sexual is displayed,
And largely via the cruel look-at-my-body-but-don’t-touch brigade.
For some men it’s even intolerable, a burden, a weight,
'Cause the male sex-drive is easily stirred, enter that limbo state,
'Cause there’s no instant relief once their sex-drive is activated
Via the sight of rousing flesh publicly displayed, accentuated.
A man’s sexual radar is highly tuned, it quickly spots what stirs,
Hence why when repeatedly confronted with such, many a man errs.
And sadly, many are good men, who just find it all too much, and fall,
Which is very tragic when they’ve tried to do their best overall.
But why arrest the eyes of an ill or evil citizen Joe,
Thus encouraging what a woman would really not want to know.
And why lose men’s respect, for underneath, men simply can’t respect
The skimpily clad female who publicly makes her self an object.
Men can find things hard enough, without this added stimulation
That can play on their mind, and even lead to incarceration.
While men shouldn’t act wrongly, neither should a woman titillate,
'Cause such drives some men crazy, and sexual problems will aggravate.
Women don’t appreciate the force they play with when they titillate;
They’re not playing with matches, but a bomb, and bombs can detonate.
Yes, a woman can be aroused too, but it’s certainly not the same
As those feelings aroused in men via this unfair sexual game.
When a man’s continually confronted with what tempts, excites,
It’s harder for him to be faithful — thus, infidelity bites.
Which in turn, an otherwise contented marriage destroys, or blights,
Hence those broken homes, the soaring divorce rate, and custody fights.
Yes, and all because many women want the dubious right to flaunt,
A right that many happy marriages will afflict, perhaps haunt.
Sometimes it’s better to forgo certain rights for the greater good,
Thus, giving up publicly teasing is something a female should.
“If men can walk around with bare chests, why can’t we?” some women cry;
The answer’s clear: A woman has breasts which can stir, hold a man’s eye.
Whether totally displayed, or partially concealed, they can excite,
Creating a desire that can’t be fulfilled, an internal fight.
It’s like waving meat in front of a lion, then pulling it away;
Such stirs, excites, and all for nothing — unless, “Help yourself,” they say.
But they don’t, and nor should they, and nor should women titillate too,
But rather, the wiser, safer, more thoughtful and virtuous thing do.

That Word Sexy
Do I call my wife sexy? No, for my wife is not an object,
Her body is not my focus — plus, I’ve her honour to protect.
No, I would never call her sexy, for some hussy she is not,
But a woman that I respect, one that I crudely won't call hot.
Sexy is simply the sad product of that steamy, seamy world
Where principles and morals are discarded, rather than upheld.
Yes, sexy just belongs to porn stars, or those pin-ups that we see,
Whose erotic bawdiness sees many men acting shamefully.
Calling a woman sexy, or hot, as so many these days do,
Degrades her natural beauty, and paints her pornographic blue,
For sexy is not a wholesome word, and better words has replaced,
Such as pretty and attractive, that with lustiness are not laced.
When women dress up sexy, they simply display a lack of pride,
For they publicly convey that they have cast virtue to one side.
Thus, femininity and beauty are sullied by the sexy,
For sexy is purely allied with a salacious fantasy.
One can’t respect loose women, nor those women dressing much the same,
For both display behaviour that has more to do with lust and shame.
When fathers encourage their daughters to dress and behave sexy
It isn't long before those girls have squandered their virginity.
No, my wife’s intimate body isn’t for other men to see,
And hence why I won’t encourage her to flaunt it sexually;
Unless it’s in our bedroom, of course, where only my eyes can see
The beauty of a body that has been kept solely just for me.
Sexual intimacy with a spouse who's yours all throughout life,
Is a beautiful experience for the husband and the wife.
But sexy simply belongs to those very hollow one night stands,
That never truly satisfy a woman’s longing, nor a man’s.
Thus, when we take sex from sex-y, we are left with that letter Y,
Y not? Y worry? Y wait? Y not now? Y not give it a try?
And, Y not stay here the night? Y not share with the others here too?
Y not just experiment? And then, Y should I now marry you?
Whenever men parade their partner in ways that are called sexy,
They soon have other men eyeing her, and desiring what they see.
And such could well put their wife at risk of a sexual attack
Occurring in their absence, or at least, once they have turned their back.
There are many men out there who are frustrated sexually,
And who via such stimulation, might well act unpredictably.
Thus, men shouldn't wrongly strut their wife — besides, such just cruelly taunts,
Effectively adding to the crime rate that society haunts.
Those women who dress sexy can cause someone else’s man to stray,
And one day, their man also, could be led another’s sexy way.
Thus, it’s not wise for women to tease like this, and nor is it fair,
Therefore, when it comes to clothing, women shouldn’t too much flesh bare.
Do I call my wife sexy? No, I don't, and I do not need to,
For my wife knows that I love her, and that my love for her is true.
No, her body's not my focus, hence why it pleases me to say,
That given that it's not my focus, there's no pressure either way.

Talking Straight
Everywhere one looks today, one sees the sexually explicit,
Which isn't surprising, given that much is no longer termed illicit.
And hence why crime is skyrocketing, for such strong stimulation
Naturally arouses many men, triggers some violation.
Yes, what some women wear, suggests that the sexual’s on their mind,
Or it has men thinking so, and it certainly makes their mill grind.
These women who are dressing this way, are reaping far less respect,
And duly bringing on their own kind all the ill that such can inflict.
Tell me, why bring out the worst in men, instead of worthier things?
And why do many dress this way, given the harm that it often brings?
Yes, arousal outside marriage simply leads to consequences
That soon harm society — enter, those sexual offences.
Why should married men as well, be confronted with such temptation?
For such can seriously harm their marital situation.
And why should any wife (also) have her happiness affected,
By society sanctioning what wisdom would see rejected?
Plus, tied in with the sexual content seen on celluloid today,
Is a gratuitous violence that surely most know doesn't pay.
And hence why there’s greater callousness, more abuse, and sick thinking,
For such is the price we pay for sex and violence linking.
Not just adults, but children also, are constantly fed this diet,
And it seems that there're very few folk who're prepared to down-cry it.
Hence why the responsible parent won't allow their child to see
Such a lethal cocktail that injures, disturbs emotionally.
Oh yes, if only women really knew what forces they’ve ignited,
If only they could see what such titillation has invited.
They would sorely rue the day that they bought into this foolish game,
And no longer would aid and abet, no matter what incentives came.
Yes, men as well as women, and more so, should hang their heads in shame,
For any part they’ve played here, and hence the troubles that became.
No man should treat a woman as if she's an object to be used,
Even if there're some women who are prepared to be so abused.
Therefore, to the women of this world, I would like to say to you:
Should you resist such pressures, there are good men who will stand by you.
Men who will love you for yourself, and who’ll respect and treat you well,
Not acting like those other men whose lustful desires lead to ill.
And to the men, a message too: Women are not for using,
So, please don't encourage any of those things that are abusing.
A woman was meant to be loved, not abused, nor raped with the eyes,
And nor is she for dressing up in clothes that virtue would despise.
To women again: Don’t let fashion houses or some image maker
(Via their seductive wooing), have you becoming a virtue breaker.
And don’t get caught up with the crowd, for often where the crowd's going
Is completely the opposite to where a crowd should be flowing.
Yes, this fixation with the sexual is very infantile,
For such childish preoccupation is not maturity’s style.
Besides, those whose love is true and sound, aren’t sexually obsessed,
For such ones always seek for others what is truly for the best.

The Naked Truth
There are those who would like to go naked — many who shouldn’t, no doubt — but such I would hardly like to see,
'Cause we don’t live in a jungle that engulfs the whole of Earth, where primitive people go about clothes free.
No, we have a background that’s so very different, and why we going naked just wouldn’t be wise at all,
And given the obsession many have with the likes of pornography, such would clearly be a bad call.
Within our sex-crazed society, there’s such a different thinking, and deeply engrained mentality,
Thus imagine the beginnings of folk going naked-cum-that rise in sexual criminality,
Which would hardly end there, and then there’re those who'd turn it all into some favourite pastime, acting shamefully,
All of which would see the total disintegration of society, thanks to further depravity.
And let alone all the other reasons why our clothes should stay on, one being some getting laughed at mercilessly,
'Cause who of us is fortunate enough to have a perfect body, the proof glaring embarrassingly.
But such aside, and returning to the former, imagine the distractions that going naked would pose,
And the greater likelihood of injury given our modern society, and why such I oppose.
Yes, and with very good reason, 'cause thoughts and eyes would have less to constrain them come an office or elsewhere,
Such being bad enough now, given those revealing clothes that many women wear, and thus how much they bare.
And why baring the lot wouldn’t solve things, and even if things didn’t change for the worst, they’re bad enough now,
All of which is why (and this subject hardly exhausted), going naked we shouldn’t condone or allow.
The truth is that we don’t live in a world where hearts and minds are pure, 'cause if we did, nakedness might be fine,
But given the sad state of things these days, such wouldn’t be fine, it simply just leading to further decline.
'Cause what is ogled and desired today, would still be ogled and desired then, and accessed more easily,
It being in one’s face, both unprotected and on display — yes, goodbye virtuousness and integrity.
