The Bear Attack Poem by Randy McClave

Would you want your daughter in the woods with a unknown man
The male being white or black, or red or yellow or tan
Or would rather have them being in the woods with a random bear
If the color of course you did not care.
I wonder what the thoughts of the women and mothers would be
Would they rather see a random man or a bear in the forest near a tree,
Most women/ mothers chose the bear without question or thought
With a bear they know what to expect if they are caught.
Men thoughts and beliefs are the same trusting a bear over a stranger
Because, many men are known to women as controlling and a danger,
And their are many, many other reasons why
That a woman have given her choosing for a bear over any guy.
No one questions a woman what she was wearing if a bear attacks her
No one would accuse her liking the bear attack that did occur,
Because, every one knows a bears motives are easier to understand
Than the trust of many men where they stand.
A bear won't accuse a woman of leading him on by being nice to him
That is not known or expected by any of them,
She would not be forced to carry the bears babies to term in 27 states
And she wouldn't have to argue with laws or with spiritual debates.
The bear will either kill her or just leave her alone
And not 400 other horrible ways a man and not a bear can hurt is known,
Bears of course do not ever traffic women
Even though they are not religious and they know not of sin.
A bear's friends won't come out to say how nice the bear truly is
And how attacking her is ruining the life of his,
No one will question if the bear's attack really happened and if it is true
They see the marks and the distress which is in their view.
After a bear attack proud men will hunt that ferocious bear down
They will then kill it, whether it's white, red, black or brown,
The bear sees a woman as a person and also as a human being
Not as a toy, or a possession or as a plaything.
If a woman ever survives a savage bear attack
She will not have to see the bear at family reunions in the front or in the back,
And a bear does not pretend to be her friend from months before
Just so, the bear could savagely commit its pain and gore.
A bear would not film the attack and send the video to its friends
Knowing of the nature of it the woman it bothers and offends,
A man will conclude from his acts that he is just a teacher
But, it is him and not the bear known and seen as a dangerous creature.
We understand the bear might at anytime kill anyone of us
But, not because of sin or of hate or because it is jealous,
We understand there are many fates worse than dying
A bear will simply kill us or ignore us no matter of pleading or crying.
This I will preach and I will say all over and once again
Statistically women are safer with bears than with most men,
In the period of 4 years by bears 7 women have been killed in all
15 women were attacked, but they survived from the maul.
Women in the end are safer with bears than they are with most men
Comparing the rape/murder statistics of men killing/raping women,
If your daughter, sister or mother goes on a date with a stranger say a prayer
Hope that her date is like a grizzly or a polar or a black bear.
