National Poetry Month Day 6: Enlightened Chastity

We go a bit deep with the poetry today, writing to the prompt enlightened chastity.

Enlightened Chastity

Uplifting reverence of purity
Aspirations of a saintly relic
Virgin child manipulation
Exploitation in disguise

Untouchable
Abstinence
Ideal
Restraint

Impositions of a patriarchy
On a subjugated gender
Maidenhood objectified
Into sanctified delusion
