Women to predatory men

With a husband, invalid, impotent,

Penniless, drunkard or dull headed,

A woman is vulnerable to the eyes

Of predatory neighbours and companions.

Being husbandless, being estranged,

Being unmarried or being coworker,

A woman is susceptible to the eyes

Of predatory colleagues and associates.

Some women yield and some compromise.

Some are tactical and some are victims.

A few are at ease with men of their choice

On falling in emotional ties with them.
