Metamorphosis

The cocoon emerges and the eggs hatch,

Different in size, but the beauty of nature nonetheless.

Who deserves beauty? Who deserves masculinity? Who deserves to be Feminine?

Both of these creatures are beautiful; they are not feminine, masculine, nor any orientation.

 The majority of the colony views these creatures as unequal.

 They attach connotations to their name,

However, From a higher perspective, they are viewed as equal.  


The morning dove does not choose based on beauty but chooses to do whatever is necessary for survival.

Nothing defines the butterfly and the moth as masculine, feminine, and non-binary.

The eye of the dove does not separate caterpillars, larvae, snails, and slugs.

They are essentially the same.

We are the same.

This poem reflects our perception of gender theory; it paints a picture of a world with no negative connotations and stereotypes that we simultaneously live in without knowing it. By reflecting upon gender theory, we can realize our based views and alter them for the better.
