Inequality
inequality lies
not in the dirt streets of a foreign country
or in stories of the past
but today
but in the hearts of women who work and work
to balance
what other women take
that isn't theirs
those bloodsucking women
who learned that victim game
and never made a contribution
to their own lives
yes they
skate
sickness is their currecy
weakness is their game
any woman
shouting about inequality
has to first be sure
she is
pulling her own weight
working her own job
raising her own children
making her own time
giving her life to those that require
her
please god.
