What Went Wrong
What went wrong?
Before both was co-creator of the human race
And were co-equal, in nature of their person and unique in function
As they co-exist in harmony as the co-creator of the family unit
As he said, you are the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh
And she shall be called woman, he said…
And for this reason dating and courtship was ignited
And thus leading to the Marriage institution
Until she made a fatal decision so we heard
That caused the rift and then the fall so we learned
By eaten the ‘forbidden fruit’ so we were informed
And he made matters worse by his attitudes so we read
By his blames and excuses when he was questioned
In the role she played and the role he played
And the rift led to a separation
And the separation led to suppression
And the oppression of the feminine power was actualized
Through fret and fear
And forcefully rule without her consent
Because the male considers the female a foe
In every, aspect and precept of life endeavors…
He took over the duty of the family and the public life
Allowing her to be passive in decision making
as he considers her as inferior to him
When in the beginning she was proactive...but at moment
Enslaved to him as culture dictates in favor of him
His physical presence was a threat to her
She is without freedom to make a choice
Seen as a second-class citizen over the years
Position such as housewife was tagged with her
When she possesses similar creative power such as the male
But was denied by the fearful nature of the male ego
Who will loose her from this bondage of ancient years?
As she is dominated by the fear of the male ego
Except the maker turns back the hands of time…since
Without her, he is a slave to the pressure of public life
Without her, he cannot ultimately fulfill his life adventure
As she cries…she agonize in pain…in her heart she bleeds
Why can’t she be loved again…why can’t she be trusted again?
Why still judging her by the past…why resisting the power she’d offer
Why can’t he accept her the way she is and love her the way he is
Since it is in his nature to admire her and chase her
And without her fulfilling her purpose as a female…he is damned
Because nothing else can fill the void of the female-energy in his life
Neither wine…nor money...nor cars…nor drugs…nor mansions
She’s an indispensable gift to him as God is to him
She is an Angel to entertain by him
A Miracle worker in disguise like him
Since he'll always crave for her each day
And always delight in her everyday.
