Ego

Ego The human mind is evolving From cave man to building house We have traveled the seas and space We’ve survived the last iced age Yet our minds are still creatures in caves Our boys are so fragile they are raised differently at an early age Mothers raise their boys to be free They encourage the boys to flirt at three And cheer them in their boisterous ways, boosting their ego They make excuses for the boys that can’t stay still Giving them a pill instead of discipline Mother’s raise their daughters in transparent chains Teaching them to have humility and self-control They are encourage to be orderly They are treated as if they are the inferior race The boys who flirt are praised The girls who reciprocate are shamed The girls who spread their legs Get chastened Ego, deflating, torn The brave and fanatic girls are an anomaly to our humanity Girls are only here to carry the next generation Their mothers remind them The boys who penetrate Get to score Ego, inflating Ego, so fragile, it echoes 1 woman, 2 women, 3 women, more Ego, echo, score Boys get to score, women are called whore Mothers tell these boys that they are brave and strong They end up with boys and fathers who only count scores Mothers treat their girls as if they are transparent They end up with invisible scars permanently tattoo and counting more

Strong poem. Loads of unfairness unveiled yet continues to happen still nowadays surprisingly. Well done, Daphney.
