BUCKS AND EWES

BUCKS AND EWES

'It is a man's world'

The bucks chant 

With coerce Voices full of disdain 

For beautiful ewes 

Who have become the objects of discourse 

Among both the naive and informed brains.


'It is a man's world' 

Everyone chants, including naive ewes 

Who have been confused and misled 

By many unlearned and unbridled tongues 

Whose untoward training comes from aboriginal man 

Who blamed a deceived ewe

For his own failure 


The streets are full of institutes

Inviting the ewes to enroll for courses - 

Courses that are oftentimes curses 

Plunging them into deep mires of insecurity and slavery 

But don't the bucks need to be schooled?

Are they islands of knowledge from the birth?


Crimes are committed in every corner 

Atrocities on every street

By untrained wild bucks.

They are battering rams 

Venting the wickedness of their wildness 

Venting their fiery drafts

On innocent ewes and lambs.

Yet, the onlookers cheer them on.

Who fed us with maddening wine?


It is a funny world 

Where bucks don't need training 

But everyone - qualified and unqualified 

Must train the ewes;

A world where bucks fail 

But the ewes get blamed and victimized

It is a world of bucks and ewes.
