Partners

Roles are clouded, partners have problems with communication and performance of duty

Women try to behave as men, losing their identity, they are not at fault

Many centuries of repression, they have been held back in order to preserve mans' ever waning ego

Males using force, trying to cease their partners' ever growing desire to break free of their bondage

Battered feeling trapped the women continue to strive, if the men will not respect them as partners they will force the issue

As years pass many of them become more and more like men, competing in a world where only men trifled

If they were not treated equally as women, they would find other ways of gaining equality

Others still cower under the suppression of the men being victims of the males low self esteem

Defeated they have lost their will for the struggle and have become care givers having no identity

The male has problems that lay deep within, they are taught not to show emotions

In this manner they themselves have become suppressed, their ailment worsening as time passes

They react to the female rebellion, they do not know any better, it goes against their training

Their self esteem being low, they use domination to boost their fragile ego

The males are experiencing crisis, roles are changing, they can either look within themselves or keep on fighting it

Those that want to change discover a part of themselves where they are vulnerable, yet there is much strength also

New sensations help many along there path to recovery, however many more will give in to fear

Man must discover his own role, before he will find a partner that is secure in theirs'

Once inner growth has occurred the men become awe-inspiring, powerful and regal, yet tender and loving

The women are drawn, proud to take their place at their side as equal partners

They will find that neither sex is superior, just different, neither threatens the other

Each will have their role to play in lifes' passage, none being more important than the other

Women will rediscover their purpose, they will be given the space they need to grow

And both of them as partners can take their place in gods purpose and know contentment
