Clumped

Emily Boban

Boys will be boys

Some treat women like toys

But it is not men who are the problem

Be against sexists and rapists

But don’t blame the good men

By clumping them in the same category  

They have their guns of all sort

They hunt for fun and for sport

But it is not gun owners who are the problem

Be against murderers and criminals

But don’t blame the responsible owners

By clumping them in the same category  

Trips to the clinic can now be judgmental

Reacting to each patient as if they are sinful

Be against those who discredit consequence

But don’t blame good women receiving health care

By clumping them in the same category  

Random search at the airport is hard to believe

When TSA checks up the thawb sleeve 

Be against terrorists and spies

But don’t blame the innocent wearing a taqiyah

By clumping them in the same category  

The sale and use of cannabis Is stated to be harmless

Be against pushers and addicts

But don’t blame those treating illness

By clumping them in the same category  

There are stereotypes of each collection

Human nature to judge becomes an obsession

Be against those who give them a bad name

Because now they will never be treated the same

Because you clumped them in the same category
