The Other Room by Sonoyom(m): 11:57pm On Oct 22, 2016 |
THE OTHER ROOM... 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 worshipers of women Where leaders of thought Become minions Of the bleeders of blood Where wielders of power Succumb to power. 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 Three rooms In a house One in which a man Believes he is king Two in which He realizes A woman is god! Hmmmmmm! ******** *The Other Room* In the other room Hardened men become beggars The queen becomes the king too The king, just a beggarly page In the other room We cry for joy Beg to be injured For there, we enjoy pain In the other room We beg to suck milkless breasts Accept every proposal And promise any thing In the other room Fate of nations are decided Destinies of men are fixed Death warrants are signed The other room What a room!
