The Conqueror Wants To Be Conquered

Forgive the beastliness
As born with, earth-sired;
Charges, unchallenged, thereaft
Conditioned, earth-mired.

Woman, soft eyed, soft voiced
Know this, pitieously
What each such, a man at heart
Seeks out, needily.

Against these advances
Appeals to soothe, tame
Resistless, have worship-dropped
Gods of warring fame!
