whistle at me
=chauvinist
slap me
-aggressor
insult me
-slanderer

i whistle at you
- liberated
i slap you
- angry bitch
i insult you
-below the belt

explode a rocket at me
-oppressed people
blow yourself up
-desperate for freedom
push children to the front
-garner world sympathy

i blow up your rocket launch pad
-aggressor
i get blown up when you blow yourself up
-i deserve it
i shelter my children with my body
-the least i can do

triple standards
depends on which way the wind blows
the underdog becomes the beloved
the aggressor becomes the beloved
the victim becomes the victorious

slide the value scale
toss objectivity into subjective chaos
death is death, war is hell
too many children suffering too much horror

triple standards are killing us all
wipe the slate clean
start from equality
start from human rights
stop the maiming, defaming, claiming our sanity
let the bullshit go
bring on the clarity

now, people
what are we waiting for?
