Gender Imbalance Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Gender Imbalance

Rating: 5.0


All he wanted
was one woman.
To love him
ardently always.

One woman.
One faithful woman.
To love ardently.
To love throughout eternity.

She worshiped
Mammon. Money.
He will be deserted.
Together. Never. Forever.

Money is her security.
She knows not. True love.
True Love Is Recipe.
For True Soulful Security.

She chose Mammon.
She chose Money Honey.
She chose not Agape.
She chose not Eros.

‘Mammon is riches
personified as evil’.
‘Wealth regarded as a God
or evil influence’.

Mammon. ‘The god of greed’.
‘The acquiring of wealth[, ]
and belief[, ] that is the most
important thing in life’.

For Mammon he was lost.
For Mammon was her boss.
They will be together.
Together Forever Never.

Dedicated to wise Louise
who believes
money is security.

And knows that people
have a better life, with it,
than without it?

To Louise who lives
like all realistic women
by the balance sheet.
Tortured Materialistically.
