Only a fool will swim with the noxious tide
Abetting the extinction of a gender�s pride
Femininity and respect are disappearing
Into the jaws of linguistic fascism and social engineering
The sedation of chemistry burns as toxic alchemy
Men are assessed on monetary standing and peerage
Belittled by advertisements on TV
Looked down upon as steerage
Demanding a percentage of executive jobs
Is this not a sexist view?
I hear no volunteers for the dangerous tasks
Which men invariably do
Let�s recall the medical breakthroughs by Pasteur
The invention of aeroplanes and the electric light
Pardon me for asking
But was there a woman in sight?
Harsh words aside, both sexes should revere each other
Appreciating what both can give
Disposing of the trends to drink and rebuke
Only then can we begin to live.
