Must do better

 


The very fact that we need

to have International Women’s Day

shows where the world

is still going so wrong.

Every single day should be

about equality,

us hearing what they say,

and taking it in. Really listening

and not belittling the strides they make,

not saying their fears are fake,

or that the tears cried make them weak.

For we are the weak.

Our insecurity, the toxic masculinity,

it stinks

and is clouding

the air we breathe.

 

We should be learning,

yearning to not be the men they fear,

or the ones that just stand and leer.

We should be the ones

that see achievements

and raise a cheer.

We shouldn't be a reason

for them to hide away,

or take a different path

because the one they walk is unsafe.

 

So, men, let's not be

the car key imprint

on shaky palms.

Let's not be the shadows on the park,

the wolf whistles

as they walk on past,

instead let us just open our hearts,

lay the pages of our stories together.

See the fear we can impart,

and tear it out, scattering it to the air.

Let's see how we can all do better.

Let's show how much we care.

 

Without women,

we wouldn't be.

It's as simple as that really,

They are nature in all of its beauty,

we the creepy insects

that plow right through it.

We should praise,

like we do for the sun in the sky,

the moon at night,

the stars twinkling bright.

For without them

we are but cattle

to feed the lands.
