In this poem I wrote it was about sexism in our society and how it connects to Romeo and Juliet. In my poem its Females and Males against each other while in the book Romeo and Juliet it was the Montagues against the Capulets. I hope you enjoy my poem!
Two genders
Female and male.
Both have differences that make them different from each other.
Mostly in stories it’s the rich people versus the poor people.
But here in this story we live in it’s males versus females
What makes Males seem more superior is that they have more
Privilege than Females do.
Females get portrayed as butterflies without wings being too weak to fly
While males get portrayed as leaders
They get told their strong like lions.
The wars/fights these two genders have
Is with words and actions.
Their mouths are guns
Their words are bullets
That hurt each other.
Since they are rivals all they can have is hatred
In their hearts
But no room for peace.
How long will this conflict keep on going?
When will they realize that it’s better to come together and create peace.
Rather than to be separated from each other like if they
Were Romeo and Juliet.
As a female myself I feel as if we should all stop the hate because it’s killing
Positivity in the world and bringing down people especially us females
Who get told were not valuable like gold.
We should all come together and make a change in society
That will make peace sprout
And hate be unknown.
Two genders
Female and male.
There should not be a gender who’s better than another because were all humans
Who should not be selfish for power or to be seen as better by putting others down.
We all need to put our hearts up and all negativity away
That encapsulates us from a better society.
You explained more about genders in a paragraph then what I have researched I like that.
Dear Beatriz,
I honestly love your poem. It speaks out to people about what it’s trying to say, and how it is unjust. I also like how you talked about other things that had differences, then you went straight to the point about what are differences and how one gender is more privileged than the other. I like how yo usaid, “ The war/ fights these two genders have is the words and actions. Their mouths are guns and their words are bullets that hurt each other.” This stood out to me because there is a lot of arguing between the two genders and sometimes we don’t even try to hurt each other. I really like your poem and hope that you continue these to prove a point.
