Equality - Bridge over troubled waters

This may be a matter of gender
Remember, though creation is tender
It does not mean one bends the fender
When it comes to making anything, an "ender"



He treads life’s high wire
With confidence intact
Give her a horde of jobs
She does the balancing harmony act


In comes the flu
The burdens are weighed
The Roses turn blue
The Violets turn red


Give him a Woman
He’ll do all he can, to make it work all right
Reading each other their rights, they get into a fight
But love triumphs to ensure the sunset wins over the night.


God created man and woman purposefully
Remember, with power comes responsibility
Rise with humility and without imposition
With open mindedness and without condemnation



She has a lot to give and hence, a lot to gain
No matter the hurt, the wound or pain
No matter the wind, storm or rain
She’s the feather in the wind, tossed but not tamed.


Each one blessed with gifts and expertise
A give and take here and there-wise
Domination and inequality bear the stamp of imposition
But let society know this is no tradition


Purge the yesteryears of inequality fetters
Stand shoulder to shoulder
Clear the air for each other
Be the atmospheric liberator


Racial, social, gender distinction
Though their very existence
Let us fulfill aspirations
Keep in mind desires and preference


So can you resist Her?
Can you do without Him?
She’s your Friend, your Partner
You are God’s gift to Man

Cassy: You have alot of things going on here...the makings, I think, of a really good poem. Maybe you should try and reformulate the write, moving the fourth stanza into the first position. As it is, you may not even really need the first already written stanza. Great start, with so much to work with!
