brothers
because we've been led to
we've been wrong
question your motives
question your heart
question the way you look at a woman.
i'm sorry i have been a poor example
i'm sorry that we accept our behaviour
there is a sickness that smothers our minds
yes it's natural to have sexual desire,
but is it not natural to have respect?
understanding?
for women and ourselves?
those with someone in your life,
be true to them.
those without,
be true to them.
be careful with your eyes
be careful with your thoughts
it's a hard realisation,
question what you hear, what you read,
our heroes
our influences
practice love.
change is good.
i want my new little niece to grow up in a safer and better world.
i want her to know equality as a norm.
i want her to know of fear but not live in it.
