Analysis of There Is More To Life Than Sex (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



There Is More To Life Than Sex   (Bussokusekika)

Beware of old men
Their minds may be dirtier
Than you ever dreamed
And don’t let them near your heart
They will own it forever
There is more to life than sex

About this poem

Don’t get me wrong…I am a firm believer in sex as sharing and comforting…and in the au naturel forms of birth control as well…But everyone has their own views on such matters…What if women having to bear children is a curse???And not a blessing…What if we were created to live forever but we were tempted to do our own thing and now we live life as we know it…What if a certain two cities were destroyed because they wanted to force their sexual practices upon ones who were unwilling…I believed Lot even offered an alternative but those mentioned were already to vile…what ifs what if’s???Maybe I am truly evil…And what IF I am God’s gift unto women…A man who has learned how to view life through the eyes of both a man and a woman???Man has always ruled and look at where it has gotten us…Who knows???Not even I have all the answers…But I do believe that when and if one is needed…Maybe one will be revealed to me…. Here is a silly thought to ponder…IF I am the woman of revelation is it possible that I will give birth to an enlightened form of my self???Who can say…IF I had it my way I would offer my entire being to comfort any and all woman whom I believed and or felt needed such comforting…With or without the act of sex…I wonder how many women I have comforted???And am sorry if I have driven any crazy by not having relations with all of you lovely ladies…Or shall I say beautiful women…Am I a man just as all other men are???Only time will tell…Firhive me ladies if you find any of my words offensive…As far as I’m concerned all of the men can go to hell as far as I’m concerned…There are other alternate endings to this story…But I can’t force anyone to accept them…It almost seems as if someone is playing foolish games with me…So much for grey matter…
