Analysis of Woman
James E. Spurgeon Jr. 1986 (New Jersey)
Wise words spoken straight from the dome
Opportunistic and optimistic
Made from man but made woman, Moon shining forth from sun's hidden glory
Angel of the unseen
Nevertheless made the tail in order to use one's head
There is no she without he and no him without her
They say "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
But do you realize they both came together
A fruit-bearing tree whose seed is in itself
An unknown variable in an equation which has an answer
But algebra is impudent and mathematics is infinite
Holy is unity and unholy is thine enemy
"U" is the first letter in "unity", so you must know one's self in order to know yourself
So focus on "I" and less on you
You is temporary and I is eternal
Then you can see we, because when you and I tie, unity abides
Therefore we are one in the same and the same as one
