They Keep Calling Us Brother. Poem by Oualid Alamghouz

They keep calling us brother.

Why do these strange creatures keep calling us brother?
I never understand.
I think I'll ask a woman to tell me why?
If you call us by our names.
If you call us friend.
If you call us colleague or classmate.
It is not guaranteed that we will feel in love with you.
From what I understood.
You do not want us to have a relationship with you.
Yes that is what you want to throw to us,
Is that right? .
Do not forget if you are a user.
Eyes we have.ears We have.
We Notice very quickly.
Honestly, the word brother is not a bad word.yet what is bad is to receive this from a female.
My sister why do you keep calling us brother?
Anyway In the last verses I have already started calling you sister.
