Teach your sons
To lower their gaze,
Teach your sons
To control their anger,
The conversation
Has long been about females,
Teach your sons,
To value the girl-child.
Teach your sons,
Dressing is not an invite,
Teach your sons,
Catcalling’s not complimentary.
For generations gone by,
Females have borne the burden,
Teach your sons,
A woman is not an “asset”.
Teach your sons,
They’re humans not animals,
Fit to control emotions,
And not slaves to their hormones.
Teach your sons,
Respect is due to all lives.
Randoms by a Random 
Powerful words! Yes, everyone is to be respected.
