What Ever Happened to Shame

"What Ever Happened to Shame."

A painful feeling brought about by a strong sense
of guilt, embarrassment, unworthiness or disgrace.
Well what you see out here this definition out of the
Webster's dictionary they may as well erase.
There is no truer statement than there's no shame in
my game but with what I see there really should be.
Just because it comes in your size doesn't mean you
should wear it especially if you don't have the body.
I know we all are never going to live up to the false
standard of Beauty because their standards are wrong.
People who did not fit their standards were considered
unattractive and were made to feel they didn't belong.
Well what I see on television could not compare to some
of the Sisters that I see just walking the street.
You see Beauty isn't what you see but what you feel
when eyes and hearts meet.
What ever happened to shame and dignity because too
many are doing things and wearing things they should not.
The clothes are designed to show off a figure they're form
fitting and they look bad if a different shape they've got.
Everyone can't wear a bikini and many who put them
on have no shame at all when they come to the pool.
Wearing what doesn't flatter your body should be for
many the golden rule.
I'm not trying to single out any one because no matter
the size of the body it's the heart that counts.
Because there are many who are classified as fine have
unclean spirits/attitudes in them in large amounts.
You see they have let their shape and their looks go to
their heads and this is a mindset that isn't good.
All brought on by males who will tell them what they Love
to hear to invade their privacy if they could.
The sweetest people I know aren't in a size 12 they're full
figured voluptuous Sisters who wear what flatters them.
They're trying to expose what should be left to the imagination
to see them out here like your chances are slim.
What happened to shame, well when your spirit is not of
the Most High you will wear anything.
Clothes that choke your body and expose more than
should be seen yet no shame to them their actions bring.
