I Don't Understand

I don’t understand how you can express yourself,
but others can’t

I don’t understand how you can look down on my beliefs,
but I’m a satan worshiper when I look down on yours

I don’t understand how you can hang your confederate flag,
but the LGBT pride flag is off limits

I don’t understand why being disrespectful is “just how men are,”
but once a female doesn’t wear makeup she “doesn’t care”

I don’t understand why he can cuss,
but she can’t because it’s not ladylike

I don’t understand how we can do the same job and work the same hours,
but I get paid less

I don’t understand how you can say I belong in the kitchen,
but I’ve never cooked for you

I don’t understand how females are expected to have “boobs and butt,”
but also expected to be skinny

I don’t understand how kids are supposed to have a well rounded lifestyle,
but we get more homework than we do sleep

I don’t understand how you can claim that people make up sexulaities,
but it’s all they have ever known

I don’t understand how the government wants a healthier country,
but we get cardboard for lunch daily

I don’t understand why the wealthy complain about heavy taxation,
but they have more than most people will ever have

I
Don’t
Understand
