The Test

The test In these days of gender turmoil Gender issues, gender strife It has now become a puzzle How to go about with life What to teach our growing children? Who or what defines their role? When the family is in shambles Undermining every goal It’s confusion upon confusion Rules and morals what are they? What was once highly regarded Is quickly seen as ’in the way’ Change the system, change foundations Make things easy, cut the chains That restrict the craving human Never mind the stains and pains We decide what we’re becoming Can’t you see? And it goes well If you doubt what you are seeing Then don’t ask and we won’t tell The time has come to make things over The more the better, let’s recreate And we will not stop to ponder If this is prompted by self-hate Let us live out every feeling How we think is how we feel And this unrestricted living Really does have strong appeal As the genders keep confusing One another and the rest Whether agreed on or objected This puts all mankind to the test.
