Daddy told me a story
About how the kingdom was won
Grandma spun a tale
About making something outta none
My teacher began a fable with
Once upon a time
Mommy fed me a saga
About how oppressing women is crime
I listened to their stories
Absorbed every word
But I watched how they behaved
And all the words got blurred
Words are very powerful
But in my impressionable youth
Why couldn’t anyone
Just show me the truth?
