Woman has a poof that the child is hers; <br />Man has no such proof to claim on the child. <br />She is cool with the child as identity. <br />He is desperate for his identity. <br /> <br />Identity crisis has disturbed him. <br />He invented marriage and chained woman. <br />He imposed chastity to mark his kids <br />And introduced patriarchal system. <br /> <br />Identity crisis has troubled him. <br />He assumed control over women. <br />He retained the progeny in his name <br />And made concubines to silence woman. <br /> <br />Identity crisis has worried him. <br />He bottled woman's skill and built up his. <br />He grew to be a Scholar. Sculptor and Poet <br />And assigned to woman the entertaining. <br /> <br />Identity crisis has bothered him. <br />He treated woman as her property. <br />He acquired family unfailingly <br />And labourd for its upkeep and status. <br /> <br />Identity crisis has bored him. <br />Water as she is, man could not cut her. <br />Tired of heat outside, man needed a shade <br />And sheltered himself in woman's coolness. <br /> <br />Woman treated man with due sympathy <br />With no fight with him for identity. <br />Her child is enough for her identity. <br />She helped him to anchor himself in her.<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-man-a-winner-or-a-loser/
