Feminists : The thing about females

There's this thing about females, that I'm not sure they see.

How they can bless you with a smile,

Or leave you with a frown. 

There's this thing about females, this power that they have.

They can build up whole cities,

Or tear them down.

See the thing about females, that I don't understand.

Is why sometimes they choose to be thorns in your side, 

Instead of jewels in your crown.

Why can't we lay bricks, and build up each other's castles? 

Instead of causing and building up walls of pain.

Why can't we speak to each other's faces in love?

Instead of driving each other insane.

Why can't we help establish each other's empires?

See there's more we have to gain.

We need to do better. Be better. Improve.

We need to be feminists.

And then, then the whole world will move.
