Ain't Both the Same?

What is with the words son and daughter
The words brother and sister
Ain't the responsibilities same?
Ain't both the same?

Can't each of them
Cherish you?
Love you?
Protect you?
Provide you?

Then why are the first two verbs associated to one
And rest to the other?

Ain't the responsibilities same?
Ain't both the same?

Why follow the same old game?
Where each one faces the blame?
Former for not doing inside
Latter for not doing outside

Can't each of them
Be one another?
Be there for one another?

Ain't the responsibilities same?
Ain't both the same?
