It's mandatory
To train
Just in case

Just in case
I hate that phrase
Makes more work
To the weary
To the tired
The poor

Yet nothing to the rich
The powerful
The wicked.

But sometimes
It cost the rich
The powerful
The wicked

Like payment
For the officers
And the drill material
Like guns
They use
Too shoot

I get it.
I'm less desirable
Than my sister
Because I'm younger.
Would I be loved
Better
More
If I
Was
A
Boy?
