Swine vs. Harpies - A Poem of the Ultimate Division

The conflict of man versus woman
will go on for an eternity.
Women view men as pigs,
and wish us to be something
we cannot always be.
Men view women as toys
to keep on their arm
stashed in the bedroom
to play with whenever
the urge coems upon us.

Men want just the physical
and not the spiritual things
so many women tell me.
They say if they could,
they would live without us
and be free of war, sin and
many other foolish things.
Men are the source of evil
damned to hell by women.

Women want men to be
their friends only too often.
Yet transgress the lines
between love and friends
with an appalling frequency
and are confused when the man
cannot tell the boundaries
she sets, without any stones
at the borders of those os so
dangerous and treacherous terriroties.

Or so many think.
Not all women are broken
weighed down by their needs.
Nor are all men driven only
by their desire to procreate.
But try convincing either sex
of these inevitable facts
and you tread down a path
that leads only to lunacy
and a killer headache.

Each sex is wrong in its own way
thinking the other can come
in any way, shape or form
to understanding each other.
Or finding one of them to be
their perfect match forever
to never make a misstep,
or say something hurtful
in the ways reservered only
for the most arrogant of fools

And above us all
God sits and laughs,
and elbows Adam
in the spot missing a rib.
for it was a lonely guy
who asked for woman
to come into being
seeing animals mating
and desiring to father
Saturday Night's fever.

The joke is on us all.
and God is telling that
punchline over and over
that he balked at first
making a world for both
men and women to live in
for he knew from his
vast omnipotence this.
We are both sexes damned fools
who yearn for something
we can never have.
