A Step In the Right Direction

Girls and boys are more the same than different
It is weird that many do not realize this
I do because I see the tears, 
And there are many from both sexes.
Neither has a monopoly on sadness
The boys in our country, used to pressured
By society to not show their feelings, not cry, not show sadness.
The last few generations though, boys have been freed 
So they can also show their feelings without fear of being called names
Or being put down or being ostracized. 
I think this is a step in the right direction
Maybe this will help us get to a more loving, peaceful, understanding world.
