It's A Guy Thing


The maternity hospital is the womb
The state of grace..departed too soon
Long forgotten..can't resume
Not remembering is a tomb


Assimilate-matriculate the external mandate
Subjugate-obliterate the inner being
Ritualistically, it is a guy thing


Held captive by patriarchal tricks
Modern, macho, males are in a fix
To remember the embryonic mix
Must make mandatory move immediately to The Matrix


Born a male does entail being, first female
This may assail the fragile ego
A good foundation is essential to grow
A new birth..a new plateau


Knowing your roots is quintessentially apropos


According to inherent ecology
Female first, by virtue of embryology
This you can never redeem
Female first, it is a guy thing


The first time has always been the deciding
Female first, despite genetically engineered chiding


Being first is the ultimate goal
Prima Materia the female soul
An evolution contribution from the female fold


According to inherent ecology
Female first, by virtue of embryology
This you can never redeem
Female first, it is a guy thing


Embryonic grandeur the definitive critic
The sole self seems somewhat hermaphroditic
The embryonic experience existential and extreme
Female first, it is a guy thing


Homage to the embryonic icon regime
Female first, the absolutely awesome guy thing
