Observed changes that many people incur.
In thoughts about a topic quite complex,
For some this view might be a bit unique.
But still I think it's time we spoke of sex
Just not in terms related to physique.

Men seek to hunt and thus are often bold
And this enables them to strike their prey.
While gatherers must strive to grab and hold
And that appears to be a woman's sway.

Now each one strives to be the best they can
And set examples worthy to be taught.
So whether we be woman or be man
We know our way is based in proper thought

This leads us to behave in ways so strange
At least my thought says that is what I see.
Beginning with the way each tries to change
The other to the way they ought to be.

Now this when added to the fact we age
Convinces me the shift is not hormonal.
What causes us to stop and turn the page
Is grounded in the changes that are tonal.

So finally at the end it's my conclusion
That this is done in purpose not in whim.
And ends up in the comical illusion
That finally "He is Her" and "She is Him."
