If I Could

If I could change one thing about today's society
I would say screw all the shame, hate, and anxiety
"Fat" wouldn't be an insult and being "ugly" wouldn't be a crime.
Sex wouldn't be taboo and bigots would be out with the times
It's a new world, a new day, but still we're focussed on the past
We shame people's bodies and put them on blast
We say they aren't hot enough, aren't good enough for us
We use words like "Slut" and "Whore" to describe those of us
Who are comfortable with our body, but do not choose to be objectified
If I could change one thing it'd be that the people would listen to the cries
Of those who need help, instead of blaming them
Listen and love them, instead of raping them
If I could change one thing It'd be you'd treat me the same as anyone else
That you'd treat your lover LIKE a lover, not a sex toy you leave on the shelf
That you'd appreciate people for WHO they are not what they look like
That you'd call us a friend instead of, "Slut", "Whore", "Fat", "Skinny" or "Dyke".
