Camille Barr reading her poem Social experiment from her debut novel Behind the facade.

Take away the scales
\nAdd a boy and a girl
\nPlace one in front of the other
\nBlind the boy with sugar
\nTie the girls hands
\nBake the boy in golden sunshine
\nBeat the girl down and leave to rise
\nMeasure only the material
\nAdd judgement to the girl
\nAdd praise to the boy
\nDiscard cause and effect
\nWalk away from the results
