Let’s get naked.
Let’s lose all inhibitions,
Realizing that mandating us to wear clothes
Is mandatory restriction.
Let’s remove our clothing,
And love the bodies that we have,
Realizing that we were taught to be ashamed of our bodies,
Taught that our nudity was bad.
Toddlers run around the house
Wearing nothing but a smile,
But we are quick to relegate that
To the simple absentmindedness of a child.
We are the people, who have
Turned the human body into an object for sex.
We are the people, who put dollars in g-strings,
For the flash of a penis or a pair of breasts.
Let’s get naked,
And stop using our clothes to hide,
For because of them,
“We all wear the mask that grins and lies.”
We use the clothes to hide our beauty and shave our size.
We go out to buy the most expensive clothes we can buy,
We dress ourselves up in smiles,
Because we can’t stand to see our insides cry.
We feel worthless, so we purchase Louis Vuitton and Sean John,
Thinking that the price tag will raise our self-worth,
But the outside will never be good enough,
If you never fix the inside that’s hurt.
(And people get shot over tennis shoes and tee shirts).
Let’s get naked,
So that we can lower the crime rate and have more fun,
For if everyone is naked,
No one has a place to hide a knife or a gun.
Let’s get naked.




"We buy things we don’t need,
with money we don’t have,
to impress people we don’t like."
