WHY ARE WE NOT EQUAL YET?

When I don’t have to

Lose the rights to my body

Is when we are equal.

 

Why are we not equal yet?

 

When I don’t have to

Be scared of walking alone

Is when we are equal

 

Why are we not equal yet?

 

When I don’t have to

Hear “you dramatic woman”

Is when we are equal

 

Why are we not equal yet?

 

When I don’t have to

Worry my voice won’t matter

Is when we are equal.

 

Why are we not equal yet?

 

They voted against

Human rights,equality

Against each other.

 

This is why we aren’t equal yet.
