No its not his fault not mine too
He just acted the way he was taught
To be strong, bold, fearless and if he didn’t
He is not a man cause only girls cry, only they stay quiet only the bear
Now when he has shown his masculinity don’t blame him
because it’s not his fault
You showed him this path
Why are we told that boys don’t cry
Why are we always told that boys don’t bow their head
Or why not boys should not make anyone cry
Why is the society always pointing its finger when a girl comes home late
Why don’t they understand the sunlight plays no role.
Whether it’s day or its night he can’t change their thoughts
because you have made him learn this by heart
Why is that a girl should always compromise
And boys they are allowed to use this right
No don’t blame a boy when he is wrong
Blame yourself for not using the correct sense of words
when he was young and when he was small.

Stop looking at my skin like it defines me
The amount of melanin I have doesn’t make me a thief
A murderer
A racist
An atheist
Stop acting like you know me when you see the color of my skin
I am not the thief you make me out to be
Not the murderer you think you see
When you open your eyes
And dark skin greets you
People see what they want to see
And hear what they want to hear
They want to believe that we are the murderers
Thieves
That we eat children for lunch
That we are monsters
They can’t open up their eyes and see that it’s just another color
Like red
Like Blue
That it doesn’t matter what color we are
In the end
We all shed tears and we all bleed red
And we all have monsters living inside of our head
So why the hate? Why the anger?
Why presume you have others figured out
When you haven’t a clue who you are
Racism is taught not born
So
Don’t presume you know me when you see the color of my skin
I am not racist just because I am lighter than you
I don’t think I am above you
Nature gave us color with privileges of our own
Just remember
Racism was something humans learned all on their own

If she walk, she may lead
Conquering all the needs.
She is complete in every sense,
She will remain lovely in every tense.
As she is so strong and cute
Take a fight and never stay mute.
In this full world of greed
You are also her bearing seed.
Damn let her walk
Sure she can lead.
