She or he…??!
It does not matter to me
As long as there is a “we”
A one voice shall we be
*************
Was told Business is not my thing;
Calculations and numbers are not feminine
Does it mean I belong to nowhere but home and kitchen?
Serving a nagging husband and feeding hungry children?!
*************
No! Was raised by devoted mother and father
Both taught me there’s no difference between son and daughter
Then, why argue over who’s weaker or stronger
Why fight over who’s the wisest gender!!
*************
Oh! I am afraid the world has gone insane
But, who’s to blame?!
He would claim it’s a SHE
She would confirm it’s a HE
*************
But, wait… Aren’t we supposed to sing the melody as a duet?
Aren’t we meant to make one cozy nest?
Again, I am afraid no one has the answer
My questions will soon evaporate like hot water…
*************
Huh… Let me challenge you beloved woman and man,
Let us see if you can abide by your sexist plan!
Let the trial begin!
Don’t you hide underneath your skin!
*************
So, dear Mr…
Do you see no one but MEN in your future picture?
Really?!!- Are you that blind?
Is it not a SHE you hope to find??!
*************
Now, precious Ms…
Do you aspire to be hers or his?
Well, lest you’re gay
I must have no say…
*************
Let us put down our sexist armors
Life is a beautiful story of two lovers:
A man and a woman
Eve and Adam
*************
Regardless of the differences
Deceiving are the gender-based appearances
What matters is that we’re one soul
“She or he” shouldn’t be an issue at all
