I grew up in a tyrannical patriarchy
I also learned from the school of hard knocks
I then educated myself at the university
the contrast from my education leaves little doubt for the shocks
Life provides opportunity
no matter your background- you make the choice
How do you answer?
in your name and in your voice?
The art of accountability
What  we practice and what we do
If you stand behind your beliefs
it would be wise for them to be true
THe beauty of responsibility
Our ability to self correct
if we learn from our mistakes
We can then gain our self respect
