Our Rights??

Equal rights,

does not equal,

equal fights.

That doesn't mean,

goals will be easy.

That something some achieve,

will come so breezy.

That getting women up high,

to break the patriarchy,

will somehow destroy,

our political oligarchy.

Nah, not that easy.

not that simple.

Just a small blemish,

a slight pimple.

On the pizza face,

of a teenage country.

With a lot to have fixed.

With all of the promising plans,

constantly being nixed.

Where people are happy,

staying on top.

Where people get excited,

when they see others flop.

Not saying we're all selfless,

not saying we should be.

But isn't it so wrong,

to want to be treated equally.

For the options and privileges,

to be the same for you and me.

For a woman to feel safe and able,

unequivocally.

I don't know,

speaking of paradise.
Utopia of the future,

where everyone has cleared eyes.

Who knows,

this the end of my rant.

Doing everything on their own,

one person can't.
