Hot

Leashed or loosed,

Aching to destroy,

Wisdom fled,

Before danger,

Exploding power!

How to hem it in,

When pressing need

Demands release

In senseless act.

Breath held

In steely lung.

The World

When will it all end?

The craziness, the disrespect,

the stealing, the killing...

This world was supposed to be a better place.

Instead, it is our own personal hell...

When you don't know who you are

You tend to hang on to the

That people place on you

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

"That's racist. We shouldn't see colour."

My apologies.

Maybe tell that to the black man

bleeding on the sidewalk.

I don't supposed he's bleeding red either,

right?

Equality

An idealist notion

maybe.

But is it wrong,

to demand that my friends,

my family,

and myself,

to be treated human

like everyone else?

Boys Will Be Boys

Boys will be boys

playing with blue toys,

Girls cross your legs

Or else you're teasing and coy.

Can't a girl be herself

if a boy is just a boy?

Defined

Equality:

not that all people may be the same

but that all people may love

and be loved

just the same.

Are you girlie or tough?

Are you soft or strong?

Are you...

..sick of "or" yet?

Patience

They say

it's history,

biology,

tradition,

who will raise the children?

who will butter the toast?

they say

this

is just the way it is–

but we know better.
