They say that all women are from Venus

and men are from Mars

but I've been feeling like everyone else

are from different stars.

Both women and men are essentially

aliens the same,

all just different coloured opposing pawns

on their life's chess game.

But me, I am not one for these tactics

all so tired and tried

because you cannot crown a winner when

all your fight has died.

I have no desire to invade your worlds

nor move your pieces

I'll passively watch your internal wars

until your childhood ceases

and then I'll ask if you've learned your lesson

of the world and your words

and if you understand you won't be trying

so hard to be heard.

You're not a victim of brutality

so don't act abused

when there are much worse crimes in the world than

the rants that you've used.
