Bulls And Cows

Watch and Listen to a Reading of the Poem

 

If ever on earth you show me a hen,
I can show you a cock when it’s my turn.
No matter whichever bull you point to,
you bet I can find an almost twin cow!

You might say it is hormone, that you can
but balls or breasts don’t make or break a man
and once you strip away the gender roles
enforced on us for social bigotry,
you should see, we are not that different
deep inside, in what we crave or despise
and where to be in a year, two or three
from now! In short in our aspirations
that let us live we are identical,
though we have complementing genitals,
just like an average soul’s wishes are, despite
the color of its cloak being black, brown, red or white.
