Eggheads
Everyone has a yolk in their head, needing to be cracked open
Let the gooey yellow free, free from the tight, white shell
Free to expand, free to reach and explore
Save the world one egg at a time
Crack open the heads of the world
The Yolks of the Sexists
Believing that the only good eggs are inside an ovary
The entire worth of a woman in an egg
Ignoring their own eggs, sexists turn to the protection of ovum
Ignoring the fact that their "facts" are fiction
Ignoring the fact that they're doing more harm than help
Ignoring the fact that it's 2016 AD not BC
Ignoring the women and their futures
Crack open their eggs
Free the yolks
Free the world
The Yolks of the Racists
Believing that the only good parts of the egg is the creamy white shell
Trapping hints of glorious yellow, glorious color
Unable to shine unhindered and bright and glowing
Unable to cry for the daring and the beloved
Trapped in a tiny white cage made by tiny white beings
If only the shell fell apart
If only the color was allowed to breathe freely
Unencumbered by jagged edges of barely opened casings
Free the yolks
Free the world
The Yolks of the Anti-LGBTQA+
Trapping the world in a small box
No room for personalized love in a shell
No room for the flags to fly free
Dazzling the world with an array of new colors
Colors never before seen
Because they were trapped in a shell
A small, round shell
Waiting to bust away from stereotypes and predetermined hell
Free the yolks
Free the world
Open minds making a breakfast buffet of diversity and open-mindedness
The free people of the world sizzling with joy
The eggs are cracked wide open
The yolks are bright and free
