i do understand how much
my Gender suffers
in this slum that we call
a world.
but please excuse my language
when I speak of the men,
You must have mistaken
for cattle.
Mummy don’t you say that he is the same as me?
Why do you treat him differently?
Why is he kicked around
for a mistake that another person
on another continent
did to another woman
that happened 56 years ago?
Why is he blamed
Why is he put down
for something that he has no control of.
Why is he pushed around
every time he wants to touch me.
maybe he does not want
to **** me, mummy.
Maybe he wants to caress me.
He is not a pig,
Mummy. Give him
a chance to do something
other than sit silently.
He is not a rag, mummy.

Don’t you preach about
Equality?
then why do you run off
bashing men
screaming
kicking
shutting off any male
that tries to settle
with me.

Don’t you say he is the same as me?
Why is He treated
as less
than Me?
