Equality and Gender

Rights to be voted for
and to lead does
not belong to the penis alone.
and rights to cook
and household chores

should not be owned
by breasts and soft voices.
a boy must compete
for his place to rule
and a girl must do the same.

the fight is not for two
to be one; it is for
Aisha to go to school
and Manji to learn to cook;
It is for competition to be fair.
