I want her to be
better than me
So
I tell her to fix her
attitude and act properly
Just like the women
of my life
have done for many generations
I do it
Because
Because
I know
Well, up until now
The only things I've
Experienced
is
Sideways glances
comments and gestures
that I've translated into
"And who do you think you suppose to be?
You may know some things
but I will never bring myself
to see
A day
where you have superiority
when you call the shots and
be taken seriously"
And though my hope is strong
in the thought that her
generation will be
The ones that set the captives
FREE
That day
I clearly see
That in her wonderous splendor
She will turn to me
Look me lovingly in the eyes
and say
Thank you for teaching me
To speak
Properly
