Ballad
When I was little,
Mama was a perfect lady.
Cooking, cleaning, always telling me
That I acted a little crazy.
When I was little,
I didn't want to be grow up to be
Anything like her.
I yearned to be free.
Free of oppression,
Free of blatant inequality,
Free of the stereotypes
Free to create a new equality.
When I was older,
I grew up to be a businesswoman,
Which isn't an easy task,
When your college professor is a sexist human.
Now I walked through the office,
Cause you're paying me less,
You're a real sexist pig,
And I deserve a raise.
I do the job better than men,
I deserve to be paid like 'em!
This is the 60's,
Women are no longer precious gems!
Why thank you sir.
Yes that is a fine raise.
Thank you for seeing things
my way; this is the highest praise.

I really like how you incorporated the style of the ballad we were given as an example by using your message to express the matter in a simmilar way. Language and vocab is very good. Shaira Berg
