So I wrote a poem...
I was inspired by the recent "always like a girl" video, and wrote a short poem concerning gender equality. :3 It's not very long, but it's one of my only poems to actually (mostly) rhyme.
It's sort of childish/Dr. Seuss-ish, but yeahhh... POEM:
He likes brightly colored ponies
Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and 'Dash
She plans full-scale battles
With her brother's GiJoe stash
He sewed a costume on his own:
Armor, tunic, pants
She won the statewide science fair
When she "didn't have a chance."
His fashion sense is fabulous
But all his guy friends bash
She's a "pretty" gamer
They say her interests clash
He can cook incredibly
Like a famous chef from France
She can run a marathon
Although she cannot dance
He likes paint and poetry
She likes mud and trucks
If all these things are fine for one
Why do we make a fuss
We're not the same, not physically,
But we alike are strong
We have passions and abilities
And using them's not wrong.
Guys are guys, and girls are girls
But they are people, too
Manliness for him and her
Might be girliness to you.
It's okay to wear a dress
Yet want to learn Kung fu.
And guys don't have to shoot a gun...
Does that make sense to you?
