A Man can
take
break
forsake
a woman's identity.
A man can
loot
crush under his foot
polish with soot
a woman's honour.
A man can
prey on
and play with
a woman's fears.
A man can
handle
or
manhandle
a woman's body.
A man can
question
laugh at
and raise fingers at
a woman's chastity.
A man can
remain white
but paint his partner
in complete black.
A man may
choose
to love
to abandon
to keep
or discard
a woman.
A woman
she shines
when she marries
the swine
and hears him whine
about things not divine!
She hears him
speak out his
imagination
soothes his
unreasonable consternation
about things that may end
in damnation.
She takes in her stride
his insecurity,
the constant strife,
-her troubled life
as his beleagured wife!
And heaven forbid
if something goes wrong
he sings a song
with his pal, the bottle-
his face sad and long.
Oh Ghost! Oh Ghost! May the good lord give us many tomorrows for today was just a bad day!
