311. She and he

She is very rich
    Because
She always gives,
She always gives.

He is very poor
    Because
He always needs,
He always needs.

She is always beautiful.
She is always beautiful
    Because
Her surrender divine
Drinks the Beauty of God.

He is always ugly.
He is always ugly
    Because
His undivine autocracy devours
    the freedom of man.
