Is man a winner or a loser?

Woman has a poof that the child is hers;

Man has no such proof to claim on the child.

She is cool with the child as identity.

He is desperate for his identity.

Identity crisis has disturbed him.

He invented marriage and chained woman.

He imposed chastity to mark his kids

And introduced patriarchal system.

Identity crisis has troubled him.

He assumed control over women.

He retained the progeny in his name

And made concubines to silence woman.

Identity crisis has worried him.

He bottled woman’s skill and built up his.

He grew to be a Scholar. Sculptor and Poet

And assigned to woman the entertaining.

Identity crisis has bothered him.

He treated woman as her property.

He acquired family unfailingly

And labourd for its upkeep and status.

Identity crisis has bored him.

Water as she is, man could not cut her.

Tired of heat outside, man needed a shade

And sheltered himself in woman’s coolness.

Woman treated man with due sympathy

With no fight with him for identity.

Her child is enough for her identity.

She helped him to anchor himself in her.
