I'm not a feminist
I'm not a chauvinist
I'm a humanist
I respect you for you
Being a woman does not entitle you to anything
Being a man does not entitle you to anything
Being a good human being is all that matters
Hypocrisy is exhausting
Anger grows inside me like a tumor
Because you can carry a child does not make you special
Because you are a virile male does not make you special
How you treat others is what identifies you
Feminists scream their superiority
While belittling men and women alike
Chauvinists cry they are losing control of everything
When it was never theirs' to own or control
Why is it so hard for people to see others as equals
Man=Woman
Male=Female
Them=They=Their
We are all equally beautiful and equally different
It's all assigned gender and expectation words on paper nothing more
Sexism, racism, all of the "isms" disgust me
We are part of humanity
And right now I am ashamed
I am heartbroken by what I see on the street
There is a pebble in my gut that has began to grow
Soon it will be a bolder
A bolder of sadness, pain , and heartache
People would sooner divide and fight than come together
I just hope that we all realise that it's
How you treat others that live beside you
That truly dictates your worth as a human.
