Splendor Is Veiled and Unveiled
A woman who can oversee a household can lead a country. By Poet
Tender frank eyes fleshy rosy lips and wispy hair,
Our attitudes and longings do not postulate her.
She kindles with no purpose to inflict us harm,
Who can withstand her seraphic heavenly charm?
Nation bestows her where the rule shifts one gender,
She grows softly amid hardy buds, so slender.
She aims for arty and hews her way through life,
Fearful of being alone but bold fairly to wield a knife.
She ushers us to places for a process to conceive,
And shields from wicked gaze, that may deceive.
She caresses us as a raw oyster tackling a pearl,
To set us free as soldiers cries and the harsh snarl
Women teach a generation, not simply men,
She is the fallen asylum and nation power again.
She represents the gift of nature with a creative mind,
She follows each moron, emulating his quirk kind.
Eve was created by God from Adam rib,
He saw that man need companionship sib.
They were quite a pair among critters in cavetto,
And joyously strolled the Paradise meadow.
