If Only, Mulan
If only, Mulan, you kept your long silky hair.
You could be Rapunzel, not a soldier in despair.
Look at her shiny golden locks.
Meanwhile, you are surrounded by cocks.
If only, Mulan, you weren’t so brave.
Do you want to end up in a grave?
Leave all the fighting for the men;
Put down your sword, you are a hen.
If only, Mulan, you lived in a tower.
You would be a delicate little flower.
You wouldn’t be so lonely, in agony.
Look at Rapunzel over the balcony.
If only, Mulan, you would listen to me.
We are only women, can’t you see?
We are not buff or good enough.
You are just a diamond in the rough.
If only, Mulan, you would stop rebelling.
Just cook and clean in your little dwelling.
We are not supposed to be like the boys.
You are simply their background noise.
If only, Mulan, you understood.
You are the mother with wormwood.
One bite of man’s fruit and you’re doomed.
To be a woman is to be consumed.

Mulan, Mulan, you are finally listening.
The tears upon your cheeks are glistening.
Take my hand, you’ll soon understand:
Women don’t make the law of the land.
Mulan, Mulan, let down your hair.
Let us see your soft skin, nice and fair.
Let’s see those almond brown eyes --
You are above them all, rise!
