The Opposing Sex

The Widows of Ashur
  Are loud in their wailing:
“No longer the ‘masher’
Sees Widows of Ashur!”
So each is a lasher
  Of Man’s smallest failing.
The Widows of Ashur
  Are loud in their wailing.

The Cave of Adullam,
  That home of reviling⁠—
No wooing can gull ’em
In Cave of Adullam.
No angel can lull ’em
  To cease their defiling
The Cave of Adullam,
  That home of reviling.

At men they are cursing⁠—
  The Widows of Ashur;
Themselves, too, for nursing
The men they are cursing.
The praise they’re rehearsing
  Of every slasher
At men. They are cursing
  The Widows of Ashur.
