TO BE A WOMAN

 

 

You have all the wisdom

You have all the words

You have all the reasons too

That justify what I have heard

 

Your argument is faultless

Your logic oh so clear

Every thing falls pat into place

And you move along without fear

 

Teaching of the sages you live by

And many more you have learnt

Moving along so effortlessly

Of pain you bear no brunt

 

I stand denuded once again

Feeling so petty and unwise

Your insight, logic and sanity

Has stripped me bare in a trice

 

Yes, I accept that you live liberally

And are way above most of us

All I can say my friend is that

To be a woman is to be… jealous…
