XX


No need to talk of world piece

But maybe of those who use it as an answer

Those who are paraded onstage

And asked "What does our society need?"

 

Men say we are equal

But...we aren't

Not everywhere

No everytime

 

We have to cover our heads

We have to act appropriately

They get to act rude and disrepectful

Yet they are the one's crowned prince

 

I may not be a "typical" feminist

But can you tell me why

It can't be XX

And only XY
