Battle of the Sexes

Inspired by Kate Burnside's NaPoWriMo-22 about the women's cradle.
And for those that never knew how is it to have a loving mother.


Poem Artwork








The weak of sexes, talking of women they said,
and yet, to give a birth they are strong enough,
facing pain where scornful men will shy away,
women will be true where men are just a bluff.

Well don't know about how honest some women are but I do know how much childbirth hurts!

Watch the TV commercials for a half hour or so and see how many Viagra ads run. Then watch the womens bone density commercials. About 50/50. Funny how it all revolves around the bone. LOL Patrick

... it's all in the genes, Georg... or is that "jeans"?! :)) And, of course, in the way we walk. Ah, but victory is always sweet and we DO long to share it with the ones we love. A wonderful take on the woman's cradle which all of us should subconsciously remember from the sweet bye-and-bye and yet I know that some have been sorely deprived and perhaps then spend their whole life seeking that gentle rocking and lullaby that takes them back pre-birth. Thank you for this, Georg, calling my bluff! :)) xx

Geez, where did you ever find that photograph of me on a good day? Both sexes have their virtues and faults, yet one needs the other...

INTERESTING AND AS ALWAYS A VERY 'THOUGHTFUL' WORK. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A BOW, BUT...THERE ARE SO MANY 'SCORNFUL' WOMAN ALSO. IN ANY CASE...I AM THANKFUL TO GOD FOR BOTH BECAUSE I FEEL NEITHER COULD DO WITHOUT THE OTHER...THERE IS NO BATTLE IN GOD...WE ARE ALL EQUAL UNDER HIM MADE TO DO HIS WILL. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS, LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Truer words have never been spoken, if it were not for a "Woman" I wouldn't be here to day......
Or if it were not for my wife, "My Pillar of strength"
I be a mute today.....

I have so learned, Georg, that this "weaker of the sexes" is far and away the strongest because, though I rarely won an argument, even, on the rare occassion that I did win, one way or another I ended up losing.

Ain't it the truth, and in one small powerful voice, bless ya for saying it in such a crisp and clear manner, it needs to be heard more often, so that the heart of men will soften.

Dear Georg, I agree with this sentence "women will be true where men are just a bluff."
I understand where you come from. Love Emile
A propos I thank you for reacting to my articles. Its batter me to see how Obama conduct him self when it came for the Israelis. But the future will prove itself. Again my friend, I just want to says what my Germans friends told me: "we didn't know" Now everyone knows.

I doubt most of us men could do the same. Hooray for 'the weaker sex.'

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
