I Could

I could be a boy,

Playing ceaselessly with my sweet toy

Bringing mother sweet childish joy

Keeping silence on the banks of words,

Learning to lean and  never lift a sword

I could have chosen to be a boy,

Tender looking innocent eyes with never guilty Heart.

Holding the world in my pocket with hope for a brighter future

But I chose to be a Man

Then,

I could have been a Man,

Learning the ways of the Heathen

Of how Eden was made when He then made the world

Dominating the gender space,

Spitting on the face of Humanity.

seeking dominance over women.

But I choose to be Human.

For being human is superior to any gender.
