Is There Any Human In Our Humanity?

We preach about equality

and teach our children how to share

We encourage curiosity

teaching what dangers to beware

*

We use words like please and thank you

to show what's etiquettely polite

But what we'll put another through

goes against what's wrong and right

*

Being born in female bodies

we've learned to bargain for our lives

On our own, or groups at parties

we have to fain at being nice

*

To protect a weaker ego

so as not to provoke a fight

Because these days you never know

what makes another soul uptight

*

Road rage, estranged emotions

should we engage or disengage

Reactions at things unspoken

seems everybody's in a rage

*

Any excuse to point a finger

to put our anger on display

Hate and aggression always linger

because somebody has to pay

*

For whatever switch was flipped

that pissed you off, leading you to believe

That you control the script

and can wear your heart out on your sleeve

*

Who gave you the right to judge

what clothes that I should wear

Tell me, who are you to besmudge

how I show my love I care

*

Why don't you live your life the way you choose

and let me enjoy mine without compare

Your behavior does nothing but prove

why most women choose the bear
