Men.
Women have babies,Women usually raise them
When babies become boys and are considered old enough
Men have wars and kill them.
Men, men, men
Men the whole world over
Men all through the ages
The men-war always rages.
Men always getting it wrong
Yet always there in power
Forever up there in control
Shower after shower.
Women grow the babies
Men grow the battles
Just as immature playing with their guns
Yet more dangerous than they were with their rattles.
If men grew the babies too
Would this improve the things men do?
