You & I
We are human
We fight for freedom.
Gender equality,
Peace between the races
And for the end of all wars.
Yet, we have sold ourselves
To mental slavery.
Concocting an idea of beauty
That evolves
Each time we get close enough to grasp it.
We consume morsels
And curl our frail bodies over the toilet bowl
Stare into the mirror, and
Smile.
For between our thighs
we have carved, a gap.
We paint our faces
and hide the artwork that lies beneath.
We are enslaved by ourselves
And in turn we enslave society.
But, we are human,
We fight for freedom,
Gender equality,
Peace between the races
And the end of all wars.
But we neglect the wars going on inside us.
