Daugthers of Eve

Like their mother,
Gullible,convincing and irresistible.
Bending the mind of credulous Adam,
Fig leaves he resorted to,</p>
Tiller of the earth he became. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>

Tiller of the earth have many become,</p>
Gunmen have many become,</p>
High and dry have many become,</p>
Accolades to the daughters of eve. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">
Skimpy scanty they dandify themselves,</p>
Leaving their nudity to easy figuration.</p>
Our blood goes hot</p>
Like an iron in the fire,</p>
Stirring tempestuous feelings,</p>
And our thoughts, bed! bed!! bed!!!</p>

Though we keenly strive to</p>
Bring the "trojanity" of our horse</p
To subjugation, but all too often,</p>
We flog a dead horse.</p>
For what is bone without flesh? </p>

These daughters of eve,</p>
Lasting while our purchasing power lasts,</p>
Only to elope with a better offer</p>
In our period of recession.</p>
It is hard to say, who is in the brothel and who is
not.</p>

O the Victorian age,</p>
Chastity like virgin marry,</p>
Decency and innocence</p>
Where are thou? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

Is She the daughter of Eve? Or the Whore of Babylon? I consider her the whore.

The Daughter of Eve, to my mind, is the woman who is a good helpmate, a faithful partner, but who, too often, does not evoke her own wisdom to direct the man, to correct him, or to actively resist when he insists on being wrong.

The whore will ride with anyone. She is the full indulgence. She does not obstruct or instruct, but leads to corruption by distraction.

Thus Eve is innocent, but can be misled.

This poem is not about the wise woman, who can be as sexual as any, but is strong, faces always the light, and love a man, but is not ruled by a man.

The Whore of Babylon is ruled by the ruling class. I think she is the subject of your poem. She loves fashion and money.

Eve is ruled by the immature emotions of her heart, and some fear ... so she is at once innocent but far too malleable. She loves one man.

The wise woman is sly, intelligent, and is ruled by her love of humanity and the Spirit Who Walks.

Great poem, incidentally.

What was lost with the lack of formatting?
