The Other Room... by monsieurp: 3:47pm On Oct 17, 2016
The other room
Where a woman pretends
To be weak
So that a man
Can believe he is strong
Where a woman pretends
To be foolish
So that a man
Can say he is wise
Where a woman stoops
So that a man can conquer.


The other room
Where gods of men
Become worshippers of women
Where leaders of thought
Become minions
Of the bleeders of blood
Where wielders of power
Succumb to one who is taught to cower


The other room
Where the brashness of testosterone
Yields to the bra straps of estrogen
Where the bravado of masculinity
Is tamed by the wiles of femininity
Where the turgid
Becomes the flaccid


There are three rooms
In a great house
One in which a man
Believes he is a prince
Two in which he told
He is King
And the one in which
He realizes
A woman is god!
