Women Poem by John Lars Zwerenz

WOMEN



Boys and men are more romantic,

Yet I only speak in a general way.

Most women are more frantic,

And lustful- (though most will never say.)

(Yet I only speak in a general way.)

It is the female who, (with rare exceptions)

Lives for carnal, fleshly delectations,

Yet she still aspires, like the male, to the good.

(As every person rightfully should.)

Men- be pure and always upright!

And women tame your passions!

So we can live in celestial bastions

Whence comes the endless night.

Renounce the body, whole and entire!

Women douse your Eve-like fire! -

Look to up to the sky, where the spirit swirls! -

I speak for all you fine, young girls.
