A man’s tendency

Man, you might be richer with wealth

But I am neither poorer,

With my bowl content with contents.

Man, you might be stronger with power

But I am neither weaker,

With my sack’s wants empty.

Why must I fall behind you?

Woman, you might be poorer in looks

I am not richer either

With my kit of virtues torn.

Woman, you are weaker in virtues

I am not richer either

With my bag of conscience worn.

That is why I fall behind you.
