The double standard


The double standards of today are much to naive 

They are meant to blind and meant to deceive 

because boys will be boys its just okay 

when boys will be boys gets girls raped everyday 

now our problem in society is acceptance of flaw

when society doesn't see its defiance of the law

mothers are killed each and everyday 

but when a man is killed a father is slain 

so if I could change anything in this world 

i would change the story of boy meets girl 

when women have sex they're  sluts and whores

but when men have sex they win social awards

but hey boys will be boys

when women are angry fight and get wild 

they are labeled as ratchet female dogs or fowl 

but when men get crazy it's considered A manly brawl 

but hey boys will be boys 

but what about girls will be girls 

girls get crazy and sometimes girls need to fight

sometimes girls want to have fun and have a good time 

no lables no critiques no judges no mischief 

just accepted by society for being a girl and unique 

so if I could change anything in this misconstrued world 

I'll change the story of Boy meets girl
