This is a poem that addresses gender issues and the abuse that stems from gender advantage in society. It explores the dual feminine and masculine nature of humans regardless of sex.

I hope to create unique and poignant dialogue about gender relationships, identity, sexuality, ignorance, and the abuse of power.
