Teach You Rock Poem by Lucie Dickinson

Listen to me, girl
Don't think about me as a woman,
Think about me as your teacher.
I will in deed teach you some important stuff-
about love, respect, and equality,
Things you think you already know-
I'm going to tell you what they truly are
For me, for you, for her and for every women:
You may think love is about blend and fusion
But it is about respect.
You may think respect is about kindness and rules...
But it is about love.
Being kind isn't enouth,
You must love me as much as you love yourself
And I did tell you-
Love is about respect,
But here's most important thing girl,
This doesn't work only for women,
It works for everybody
Every child,
Every teacher,
Every man and woman on this little rock
That is our home...
And so this rock where we grow up,
Is equality,
Were we must push-up love of respect and respect for love.
