LET'S TALK by Ogunwole Moses

My light in it's splendor shines so bright

But I've been covered with a blanket

Let's talk about my strength

Even so strong in fragility

But yet, they think I am inferior

All because I have a few modified glands 

Even when I speak about my rights, I'm called a feminist

When I portray my boldness, I'm tagged a whore

I've been made a symbol of weakness

So when I express my integrity of character

They feel threatened

Bloody men

I'm the backbone of our generation

The vessel of propagation of our species

With great pain and rigor I bring them forth

Yet I'm deemed inferior

Foolish men

I'm the strongest of all creations

Let's talk about equity

What you do, I can do as well

Perhaps even better

Crazy world

I've been stereotyped

I never even got the chance to prove myself

I'm left to rot with my loads of potential

A little talk on equality

I'm not only meant to grace your bed

Or just to let out offsprings as pigs

Don't you think I deserve just about the same rights as you

Of course I'm also homo sapien

Just a little bit modified
