The Sexes

Certainty, logic, reason supreme,

I am a man, discouraged to dream.

In realness I thrive,

wired to survive.

Beauty, emotion, and kindness are power.

I am a woman, a delicate flower.

With feeling I rule,

my heart the main tool.

Two sides to one,

the difference's sum.

When put together,

souls light as a feather.

Yet so incompatible:

the fiction, the actual.

Head in the clouds and feet on the ground.

Headless your trapped, and feetless your bound.

The genders entwined in unending dance.

Will she sway to him? Will he fall to her trance?

Can't be apart and can't be together,

leaving only a storm of indeterminate weather.

Two Sides

Two extremes of one side or the other

All respect is lost bewteen you an your brother

You satnd for this and he stands for that

No common ground for either, that's where we're at

All sense of decency has flown out the door

No one cares for the sick, and no one craes for the poor

Everyone is seeking self-interest, with no one else in mind

Oh dear God I pray, that common gorund we will find
