A man's world Agreements made of slate black granite Shrouds of velvet, stealth of gauntlet Thrust to throat the softer thought Taut to flex though cruel onslaught And what of honor bears this quest? Seemed innocent by Satan's guest Yet temperate these measures be Taught to be bold this fair born she A man's world Agreements clear of crystal shine Satin slips through salty brine Trust only this beware of sorts Thought to be weakened worn retorts Against the grain slate black remissed Her velvet glove on iron fist Yet carried by the warmth of truth Brought to the fore in certain youth A man's world And what agreements carved and clawed? Shrouds like smoke of ice tomb thawed Struck and shattered thankfully Taught to be bold this fair born she Copyright Kkh 11/13/02 |

 (big hugggssssssss) Sadly this is so very true, mans words still seem to speak so loudly when it can help listening to both men and women together and end these stereotypes once and for all and there we can begin to finally make agreements that can make unanimous comfort! (sigh) You speak with such wisdom, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful hart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
