all she sees
are men that use her
all she knows
are men that abuse her
all she understands
are men confuse her
what about this
human nature
father above mother
sister less than brother
what if women
could be equal to men
would women then
be like that as well
one always above another
would women too
become abusers
would some women then
become nothing but users
what if things were better
women and men
equal together
respect and love
being normal stature
what kind of world
would we live in then
what would moral life be then
would true love and real respect
become our social zen
would equality reflect
human nature then
or would equality
what society still expects
be on a scale
from one to ten
but we are animals
in one true sense
one lording it over another
without any real recompense
so all of nature's inequality
does it really make any sense
so Creation's inequality
is perhaps God's natural defense
what if tables turned
women always above men instead
perhaps Praying Mantis
know God's flipping secret
that gripping female Mantis
nipping off her male's head
so perhaps equality
is nothing but corruption
like water into wine
and flesh made into bread
