From educating women, an intriguing side effect:
It’s thought-provoking; is the cause direct or indirect?
They’re having fewer babies; women want to have careers,
Not just as baby makers, they’re exploring new frontiers.

What jobs can women do? Well, it would seem, it’s damn near all.
Piano movers? Maybe not. Few ladies heed that call.
But every other calling is wide open for females.
There is no reason most professions should be just for males.

So, doctors, lawyers, judges, captains of our industries.
And artists, writers, teachers, business folks, no boundaries.
Will little girls and little boys respect each other more?
Will women in our leadership be better for the poor?

Our educated women have much less need for a man,
A clear result, though not part of their education’s plan.
As attitudes toward marriage change, we’ll have fewer offspring.
Which prompts us all to ask what other changes this might bring.

More education, fewer kids, it happens everywhere.
Will this mean our environment gets a chance to repair?
Less global warming, using sun and wind, less fossil fuel,
(Although some right wing women still are stubborn as a mule.)

As women get more educated, what will they decide?
How will they mold society when they get to preside?
Cooperation might improve with less testosterone.
Will young men, feeling competition, start to moan and groan?

Will human life be rosier with women on the rise?
Does evolution have a lesson we can analyze?
Male dominance in chimpanzees, the path their species chose,
Produced no art, no language, and they’re still not wearing clothes.
