Beyond the Binary

Have you ever thought of how
Many women were abused because of the gender of their baby
Something mothers can't control
Or how many women were abused to death because of something they can't control
It is truly sad to know
This is something that should be taught in school

How many children that were disown by their father
Because of their gender
And these poor children had no control over their race nor their gender
They shouldn't suffer the consequences of their parent's actions
Men played a huge part in this process
And they have the AUDACITY to complain
About the gender, which was their mistake

Truly your gender doesn't determine your ability
You can strive, if your head is held high
With the right motivation and support you can strive
Climb mountains higher than Mount. Everest
Strive in the hottest desert
What a man can do, a woman might do better
