It's length and breadth enscribed on pages

Of stories and poems befit for all,

Was Eve responsibile for the fall.

Is she the reason for death's darkness

To loom o'erhead in battle dress;

The fairer sex, the weaker mind,

Are women's limitations so selfishly blind.

Alas for centuries of lies,

 Stark shadow o'er creation cries,

The foolishness of a gender war

Where both within them God's likeness bore.

And still the competition rages,

In boardrooms and on written pages,

When will we learn cooperation

Benefits better than gender isolation.
