Summing Up

Look how far we’ve come.  Children educated

so fast they’re not ready for work.  We are now so

thoroughly modern we have non-governmental

organisations to take care off our guilt.  So

awfully civilised with our celebrated

towns and idolised cities, inequality

illustrated in blatant artistry.  And we

still pay women less than men, for doing the same

job, with the same skills, just as competently.  Just

about sums us lot up, really.  You know, there is

no excuse for prejudice – but gender?  Let us

face ourselves and examine what we really do.
