She knew not how to move the G. I. Joe in the field.
She knew not how to sound while pretending to drive the Hotwheels
cars.
She knew not what it was to play as Superman.
She knew not if FIFA would ever install itself in her brain.
She was given a Barbie doll.
She was given a kitchen set.
She was given the role of a mother to play.
She was given the role of a homemaker to play.
She learned to indulge in kitchen unaware of the tricks to
kick a ball.
She learned to feed the child and teach the morals and
manners.
She was alienated from the Trump cards and the army-like
scenarios.
She knew not how to play a robot car.
She knew though that her boy needs one.
The Barbie dolls, the Hotwheels cars lay in one store in
different stacks,
Unaware of the stereotypes they helped to form and
encourage.
The girl wanted pink, the boy wanted blue.
If only the toys had any clue.
