A son of Adam born anew, Arrives into a joyous hopeful stage, Everything set in colors of blue, Two becomes three on a brand new page, A son of Adam as he grows, Has certain traditions to uphold, None of which he yet knows, But soon everything will unfold, A son of Adam as he gets older, Must bring his molders glory and gold, To be the brave unrelenting soldier, To be a savior and above all bold, Now when a daughter of Eve is born, The molders have such different hopes, The loss of a possible son they mourn, Then soon they begin pulling her ropes, A daughter of Eve for generations past, Is a puppet to her family's whims and woes, Not a rival to the son, she is an outcast, Never allowed to be bold or oppose, A daughter of Eve must become a mill, And produce until she has procured a son, That is her destiny to fulfill, Otherwise, society will quietly shun, A daughter of Eve can perhaps teach, A son of Adam she has produced, How not to become traditions leech, And break the circle of abuse.

A Son of Adam
A son of Adam born anew, Arrives into a joyous hopeful stage, Everything set in colors of blue, Two becomes three on a brand new page, A son of Adam as he grows, Has certain traditions to uphold, None of which he yet knows, But soon everything will unfold, A son of Adam as he gets older, Must bring his molders glory and gold, To be the brave unrelenting soldier, To be a savior and above all bold, Now when a daughter of Eve is born, The molders have such different hopes, The loss of a possible son they mourn, Then soon they begin pulling her ropes, A daughter of Eve for generations past, Is a puppet to her family's whims and woes, Not a rival to the son, she is an outcast, Never allowed to be bold or oppose, A daughter of Eve must become a mill, And produce until she has procured a son, That is her destiny to fulfill, Otherwise, society will quietly shun, A daughter of Eve can perhaps teach, A son of Adam she has produced, How not to become traditions leech, And break the circle of abuse.
