Entomophobia

A man isolated from women knows their worth- 
More than a man who has them stumble upon his lap- 
As she fills my heart with blood- 
And makes my lungs collapse- 
 
The starving man knows nourishment much better- 
Than the most refined of upscale palates- 
Regardless if taste is a factor- 
Sure footed with weak knees seems unbalanced- 
 
The coward knows the gift of living- 
That the brave just may not realize- 
Why do men fear the insect?- 
Sought justification to steal their lives- 
 
Man, creates society- 
Man, destroys society- 
Death strives within thin air- 
Life, inside of our warfare.
