I didn't know

That to be a woman

Is to be

Not she,

Not free,

​

But something allowed by man:

Less than...

A part of HIS plan.

​

I do know, though,

That to be a man

There needs to be a SHE

To give him birth,

To protect and feed him-

Be his goddess on earth!

​

So this present universe

Needs to be an equiverse;

She a complement to he,

He a complement to she

​

Then the human race

Will be in place,

Free of "he rules she"

And "she fights he",

The best of both, A "We."
