HUMAN ANIMAL

MRS OATH

SOLITUDE

​
"I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm, that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
The oppressor told me I do not have the right, The oppressor told me I am not equal, The oppressor told me this is the law.

From evolution theories transitioning into modern man to the equality of women. Our behaviours and instincts in society. Celebrating 100 years since women were able to vote. It's time we all made a change.
