Dividing Us Up

This is a 'girls toy'
This is a 'boys show'
'Boys can't wear dresses!'
'Girls can't like sports!'
Madness.
This-
This should never be said.
If we had just got it right in the first place, we wouldn't be here
Here in this situation
Where innocent individuals are being
Attacked,
Destroyed
A decision made by someone, who had the crazy idea to try and divide us up
Right down the middle
Not knowing what they had done to the future
