MENTALE DILUSION

What has happened over these past years

No one wants to face their fears crying with dry tears

Claiming biology and gender a mith

Who made up all this?

Mental delusion

Who are you fooling

What are you proving

I am who I am without any titles 

I am one man that is my community

I do not have the time or energy to be anything else

With all my inner flaws I keep them to myself  

Mental delusion

Cutting in the biological line

This is not the fight for equal rights

Who are you, are you human?

CALL ME MASTER

Calling me boss 

    Does that make more of a man

Do I have a higher qualification than you?

Are you in my employ?

Why did you grant me such a status?

Are you calling me a boss

    Does that make you less of a person?

Is you three-fifth man?

Compromise with a pen in hand

Banneker letters caused him to have carpel tunnel

Why do you call me boss

    Do you need direction or can't make your own decisions

What is the purpose of a word that puts you in a lower class?

Is it a nice way to call me white trash?

My education and the status of my degree does not say that

Don't call me boss

    It sounds like your loss

That word was chosen to hide the domination of racism

It lurks within the context and tone 

If it was 400 years ago would you be calling me master.

Don't call me boss

Call me friend or call me brother
