    Man vs Woman

    They say:

    In every man’s success,
    There’s a woman behind,
    In every man’s downfall,
    There’s always a woman involved,
    A woman without a man
    Is nothing
    But a woman, her man
    Is nothing

    I will add to that:

    In every woman’s love,
    Is man’s happiness,
    A voluble woman,
    Is man’s shame

    And I will further add:

    A man’s wealth,
    Is every woman’s dream,
    A man’s generosity,
    Is every woman’s extravagance

    Therefore:

    Man is always in the defensive,
    Woman is always in the offensive,
    Or, is it the other way round?
    Which ever way,
    Only he or she knows,
    Who’s to capitulate

    My advice:

    Let man and woman,
    Be labile to each other,
    Or, let both lionized each other

    The thoughts are all real... whichever way, woman and man both depend to each other... they are relative to each other... very good poem.

    "lionized" or lionize. When you say in the defensive do you mean In Defensive Mode or on the defensive? Those lines seaped a bit of confusion. However, the poem has depth and meaning.

    defensive in an ordinary definition, depends on the interpretation, rhe reader is free to interpret whatever he likes it to be. Thanks a lot, pal

    Not your best. Interesting to read, but seemed overwrought. Thanks!

    thought well tooken very interesting I never thought of it this way

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
