Virtue & Strength

(Distance & Bravado)
April 2, 2005
3:OO AM

It is not fit
that a man should bare all,
broken and powerless,
in the presence of a woman.

And so he hides his need
behind facades of confidence;
bravado..
Afterall,
there is no finer strength to be found
in a man made husband
than self-sufficiency and command;
all the while demanding his price
through force of will;
false confidence.

~

Neither is it proper
that a woman should remit
anger and indignation
to a man.

And so she hides her ire
behind a seeming servile
docility..
Afterall,
there is no finer virtue to be found
in a woman made wife
than meekness and resignation;
all the while exacting her wage
through quiet brooding;
distant silence.

~

Seek not virtue in this woman;
she seeks not strength in any man.
