Bye Bye Wee Wee
So long old friend
What makes a boy?
What makes a girl?
Why can't a boy wear a dress?
Why can't a boy like dolls?
Why can't a boy be like a doll?
Why can't a doll be a boy? [not a military tough guy]
Do girls really like pink?
Can't real men talk about feel-ings?
Who cares?
It all fits in-to the stereo-type/boxes
Of boy/girl
Of one or the other
Going to the job interview
The man says he feels like a wo-man today
So he wears a dress and heels
Let's just say, he didn't get the job
Is this not in-sane?
A society built on image
No sub-stance
No know-ing [of the feel-ings/thoughts/body/spirit/soul]
[why all the se-par-a-tions?]
"I wanna keep my wee wee", says the ________
But I still want to wear a dress and earrings
You might not like my wee wee
But can't you look past that?
But why can't we value depth?
Character over some society-sanctioned "value[s]"?
Just an-other robot con-forming
With-out making connect-i-on-s
Commodify-ing our bodies - minds - spirits - soul
Be this - Do that - Follow - Obey
"Be like _____ "
Where's my MAKE - UP?
May-be I feel like a girl
But what is a girl?
Can't a boy like to be gentle, caring and may-be
"God forbid" - even CRY?
I still have my wee wee
And I can cry
And I can connect
And I can love
"Mommy, can I please keep my wee wee and still be a girl?"
"Only if you're a good boy, Johnny."
