Aphrodite

They have hated us for lifetimes

Since the dawn of our times

Have beaten and berated us

Have raped and burned and slaughtered us

We are regulated to the shadows

Else they take us to the gallows

Where our heads

Of fine silk, dark night, and fire

Are cut off from our hearts

They've removed all desire

Made it all about them

Pleasure only theirs

So that ours is considered shameful

Something to be scoffed

So that we never cross them

Sweet goddess of love

Please return that desire

That which we did not give them

They stole it

And we want it back
