Gender Poem by RUPALI SAINI

Gender is universal,
Days are gendered,
Works are masculine-feminine,
Struggles have compartments.

Glory be to Gender!
producing man-woman tirelessly;
birthing colors, mannerisms, this like-that like,
It never fails to devour that damn human.

O Gender!
We pray for Your protection
You are our hiding place, and
under Your wings, We can always find the refuge.

O Mighty!
Protect us from the neutrality
wherever We go, and
just keep that inclusivity far from us.

No matter where We are,
We look to You as our Protector.

Hail, Gender! The
omniscient, omnipresent & omnipotent.
