WHAT IS IT ABOUT GENDER?
Do we truly know
what strength really means?
Is it just muscle and might
or the courage to rise after breaking?
Wisdom isn’t worn on bodies.
Every head holds thought
every mind can lead
so why is wisdom still weighed by gender?
What does care look like?
Is it soft hands and lullabies
or is it presence in pain
a heart that listens when words fall short?
Is shape the measure of worth?
Must strength be masculine
and care be feminine
or have we just forgotten how to see?
