Dang Soap Box Again---Sisters Go On

I am not too proud to recognize I need women  
and I am not just referring to sexual desire    
it's a truism of a most general nature    
starts with the obvious    
for I was not born in a test tube    
   
My father yes a wonderful soul    
but there are some things I look at now    
and conclude yes "mother knew best"    
from my undergraduate choice    
to a short term intrigue with law school    
mother wit knew I was not the right fit  
   
The stats back me up in every way    
single men don't live as the married no way    
and even thought I am not currently wed    
my sister in law is my next door neighbor    
growing up Jewish she makes sure I am at least fed    
   
And indeed my closet friend that I have met    
since moving to Oregon is like a sister of another mother to me    
we deal with the same mental illness    
and she even has two phds    
that is addition to her interest in fields that I dwelt in for years    
sports, music, politics and the like    
she gives a perspective that balances out the testosterone    
   
For while I am not here to do male bashing 101    
can you recall a war like that of Ancient Greece    
where women savaged each of to the degree suggested    
in that tale of Troy?    
yes we have all heard the term cat fight    
but they generally don't have the tight of bodily damages    
that men can inflict on others from just fighting    
over a little ball less that half their size in athletics    
   
Hearts attacks, high blood pressure and other calamities    
the male is just taught to suck it up    
often waiting until the illness gets even worse    
even the marrieds live shorter lives    
and the other hand a man gets a cold and    
is reduced to whimpering like a infant    
oh slight in degree compared to giving birth!    
   
My only fear is the rush to favor equality    
brings forth that any woman should be embraced for leadership    
as if gender single handedly is equated with quality    
woman have capacity to be just as vindictive and ruthless as men    
and there are those that try to outdo then
the old axiom hold's true:    
don't try to outdo---it is your uniqueness, sweet sister    
that may save us yet    
   
In the end we don't need to savagely compete    
together we can make forge teams that can't be beat    
stop thinking of zero-sum games    
for that is what will lead society down the drain
