gift horse

from Rapunzel in-towered
to oprah empowered
you should acknowledge the gifts from those whom you have cowered  
your freedoms and rights
from conversations not fights  
we laid down our power to lift you from beneath
how do you thank us, kick the gift horses teeth  
keys to the castle keys to the car
keys to our children any gender they are
marriage and divorce have taken you far
most of the time when marriages fail
you get your freedom we get a bill in the mail  
have it both ways these rules you have crafted
get what you want  without being drafted  
free dinner free drinks
rules, two sets me thinks  
we are equal
equal as can be
we are totally equal  
now open the door for me
