Call for Gender Equality
The top of my head only reaches their chin
But I can measure against the greatest of men
I wish my pay was based on merit
And not the chromosomes that I inherit
Affording the rent would be real nice
But my ponytail makes me only half price
Trying my best to just get by
Would be a lot easier if I were a guy
And yet on the other hand
I’m free to cry whenever I can
My brothers over here
Gotta hide all traces of shame and fear
Lest the claws of society
Chew them out for not showing masculinity
How can he be expected to be a gentleman
If he’s not allowed to be gentle, man?
Although fairness is fickle, I still believe
In the possibility of equality
A world where there is no crime
And happiness doesn’t stop on a dime...
I know there are pressing issues all over the earth
But some could be solved if people knew the worth
Of a person isn’t based on sex
The fact hat this problem still exists makes me perplexed
I look forward to the day
I receive fair pay
And brothers out there
Can behave true to the way
