The Creation Of Woman Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Long ago, Very Long ago, God was caught in a pensive mood
After sending down Giant sized Creatures with violent Nature
Floods and Fires with hellish Fury, Man was sent to live on earth
Man was single no one to mingle, wandered jungles with no one to tingle
God looked down noticed the Gloom, Dull and Dumb was the life on Earth

God sat straight, fastened his belt, decided at once to add some spice
Finding an answer God shined bright patted him self for striking it right

Spring was the season when he sprang the surprise
Pleasure peaked every where on finding this treasure
Gifting Man with compassion God sent down this sensation
Woman was his creation whipping out a temptation

Man jumped with joy thinking her a toy
knowing very little he is for a ride
the lust for sex and the need for a breed
drove the Man into the grip of greed

vulnerable was the woman in the beginning days
allowing the man to dictate the terms
confined herself in pleasing the man
remained longtime a captive of attachments

A blessing in disguise was the state of affairs
for the woman hitherto obeying the man
finding the Man's dependence on her
woman changed wisely to set things right

The dominated became the dominator
The prisoner became the punisher
The suppressed became the oppressor
Man took refuge in the shadow of woman

Male world changed with the moods of Woman
Wealth got created for the needs of Woman
Coffers emptied for the lust for Woman
Man kneeled and danced to the tunes of Woman

God looked down Man stared up
Fearing a backlash God slipped into oblivion
With no one to complain Man opted for solitude
Paving the way for Saints and Monks
