@girlbeforemirror,

Absolutely delicious.

take tall long strides avoid bold hip sway.

That phrase has triggered a wave of chuckling that has yet to subsist. For some reason, I imagine you as a bit of a cheeky, "bold hip swayer," probably worthy of special attention from your grandmother, despite your post-hoc inference of innocence. Indeed, if I had to classify your genre of poetry ... :-)

Not to poke too big a hole in your thesis but:

You are your choices, behave yourselves,
don't act like beasts, respect all girls.
Treat all people well and be honourable,
your sister should be safe on the streets as well.

That paraphrases a million withering speeches that I and my two brothers received from our father. While there are, unfortunately, hyenas in the world, so too there are lions. Make sure you write poems for both.
