Fruit Tarts

The single bite of an apple signified women's loss of purity.
Bullshit.
Women are more complex than the story of Eve.
Some women are like a peach,
Extra hair than what is considered beautiful mainstream.
Some women are like a pear,
cherish their curves that are able to bear
children.

Take care to note that I said "able" not "required"
Women are in control of their bodies,
unbeholden to what society has desired.
Some women are like grapes,
full-bodied in shape
ripening into a fine wine,
Women everywhere-- goddesses divine.

Some women are like a lemon and sour,
ready to devour anyone who would hold them down.
Women, no matter their fruit, are all produced
initially as a flower,
Conditioned to be fair and fragile
In a world that will take advantage of them,
women have been left to fend for their rights.

Some women are like a pomengranite
and require a certain finesse to glean their seeds.
Given enough care and effort,
the taste of their effervescent juice,
will leave you washed in ecstasy.

Women, all unique, wonderful fruits,
ripe in age or exploring your youth,
We are all goddesses divine.
We live in a world that treats us unkind,
harvesting our fruit before its time.
Constantly trying to rectify
the rules of our society,
and yet if we persist,
we just might see,
a world ruled by justice and equality.
