Woman & Men


I would change the mind

I would reform the masses

I would take away the pain, from the girls in my classes.

A light hearted laugh, or a metaphoric brush off. 

Words like knives, under a sarcastic cough.

Why is one gender better than the other?

Both made by the same creator, yet oppressed with thunder.

Both capable of creative things, both beautifully formed. 

Yet we shoot down the woman, who holds so much warmth.

There would be no soft touch, no reproduction

our species siimply left at a dead end, with male destruction. 

I'm not saying men are monsters, but if they only knew what a girl truly meant

I guess not until they are fathers.
