Free but Unequal

Have we not progressed? What kind of world are we living in? Women getting smaller wages? Men telling us to get back in the kitchen? We are worth more than we get credit for We have more to offer than to kitchen slave To cook and clean for husbands Giving birth to children to raise The head of the house should be a partnership Both the husband and the wife Each should have a part In making the decisions in life Isn't equality for women Something we worked on years ago? But men still get higher wages than us And that just goes to show That men still think they are better They think they rule this land That women are just helpless So they take the upper hand But truth is we aren't helpless And we deserve equal rights In work, school, and home And it has become a huge plight We are moving forward And while American may be "free" This country cannot be deemed fair Until everyone is given rights and equality
