There is contradiction in what you suppose. <br />Can you wear a man’s armor, yet <br />Wield a feminine heart? <br /> <br />It is the power of woman, is it not? <br />To slice through steel <br />With but a look? <br /> <br />Why then pretend to be man? <br />When woman is so much more <br />Commanding. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Cotworld, Dec 2000)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thine-own/
