She Wishes To Make a Funnel Large Enough To Put Everything In This Little Bottle
She Wishes To Make a Funnel Large Enough To Put Everything In This Little Bottle
altered from ever existing
so that someone else could prosper
and be placed above you through
the uncontested means of believing
strength in the fact that anything against
others makes your position right
loyalty to your spouse
means you honor your position in marriage
following your spouse blindly is quite foolish.
than all bowed before me expecting
me to remedy their ills
to make me hero, in their need to speak of
someone other than their selves.
now I am left with nothing and no one.
they shall trick you to divide you
and ally with you incertain agreements
they will divide you from who you
have chosen to honor as husband
to make wives in Eden.
they shall speak ill of those
ways that make you a man and compare
men to woman and settle
with that which draws no division
Smite him that givest that
his labors one cares not of
but only the fact that he shall
speak fooly and be kindred
and will never want to
take marriage with you
