"Don't get raped" 

"She's a slut"

"Don't eat so much"

"Why should I spend my money on someone who can't work?"

“Gay marriage is wrong”

 

These are a few

of the common misconceptions

society has today.

 It doesn't matter

that somebody was raised to think rape is acceptable,

or that sex is enjoyable,

or that food is amazing,

or even that you lost your possessions in some bad luck.

As long as it isn't you,

it's okay to crucify somebody for their actions.

 

No.

This is not the way it should be.

"Don't rape."

"Fuck anybody you want."

"Eat whatever you like."

"Welfare should be put to better use."

“Love whoever you want”

These should be the things

we tell our children.

We should raise a generation

free from close-minds and judgements.

 

Even then, it seems

like it would be too late.

As if the only way,

we would change the mindset

of society, is to completely

start over.
