Our eyes are set so
We can not see our faces
That betray feelings
Short stories and poems the author wishes to share
He seeks to conquer
The battle of the sexes
She seeks victory
Both sides the winner
He gets to do the bragging
She gets fulfillment
There are no losers
The spoil of war is pleasure
People forgiven
There are the four D's
Compartments unrecognized
Day, Dusk, Dark, and Dawn
Influence on us
Of which we are not aware
Shaping our actions
Nourish our body
Act on our philosophy
Rest and recover
Each of the four D's
Sets a mood, shapes our actions
Yet we're not aware
Crossed the finish line
Objective met, race finished
Ready now for more
Crossed the finish line
Objective met, race finished
Resting on laurels
One, life formula
Two, leads to early demise
Forever onward
