Ridiculous

During his exploration
The great explorer
Young, arrogant and
Great seducer
Discovered that
Contrary to his beliefs
The stems he pulled apart
Were thorny
The petals he kissed
Were crushed slightly
And upon closer inspection
And insistent inquiry
He discovered that
The land he had chosen to
Explore
Name after himself
Had already been visited and
Revisited
By other
Great seducers
And that he
Certainly wasn't the first

The great seducer
Young explorer
Out of disappointment
Spat on those petals
Stepped on those stems
And called his object of desire of
A mere second ago
A shameless whore
And walked away with complaint
That no longer does the world have
Any pure females
Any virgins

And she found him
Absolutely ridiculous
Was thankful it had ended
Before he left his misogynist footprints
On her land
Call her his own
Claim sole ownership
Due to seduction, discovery
First to toil
Virgin soil
And she smiled to herself
For whore she maybe
But a happy one
And yet, she couldn't help wonder
Why female who lay with man
Numerous
And not husband or
Husband-to-be
Was whore
But man who lay with
Females numerous
Females unknown
Even men, in secret
(Who knows? She thought)
Were not whore or slut
But
Prized possession
Trophy
Great seducer
Experimentalist 
Scientist
Anything but a whore.
