The days of knights in shining
armor are long since gone;
The men who join us in partnership
protect us from harm.
If we can all become grateful for
the parts we all play,
Perhaps the bonds of marriage will,
one day, manage to stay.
How wonderful it will be when our
men outlive us women;
Maybe then, all of us, can be be
seen as friends.
The women will stop acting as those
who protect
The men, whom our society,
continues to reject.
We will decide what we lack to
bring up our babes;
And, by all of our society, we
should be praised.
There will be no more measuring
each generation
By the respective positions in
parents' life's stations.
It does take baby boys longer to
gain their strength;
When fathers are absent to teach
them for what they're meant
While becoming men, once they are
removed from mama's arms,
Where are the real men, to protect
the boys from harm?
Why do we continue to have men
following like dumb sheep,
Instead of making societal rules
that they are willing to keep?
We women of strength are tired of
correcting bad boys,
Who see women and children as part of their own play toys.
So many men pretend that they have
no responsibility,
And for babies that aren't proven
as blood, they are responsibility free.
Where are the many sons and
brothers of Abraham, Jacob and Jesus
Who, from the mistakes of our
ancestors, were sent to free us?
I am oftentimes angry because it's
courage that we lack;
Even generations who steps
forward are dragged back.
Our religions continue to crucify
any woman who is strong
Contending that, from the beginning
of time, we invented wrong.
If Adam had the will and the
courage to say no to Eve,
Perhaps we would not be in, such
cowardice, conceived.
If both partners stop acting as if
they have no functioning brains
Some fun may be lost, but mutual
respect will remain.
It seems that human society swings
the pendulum;
From mutual responsibility, we
continue to run.
There are not "women's
problems" and the problems of men;
Partnership is that on which
families actually depend.
