The second writing is a poem called "The faithful wife" by Barbara L. Greenberg. This poem

As the matter of fact I would like to have a wife myself if that's what a women's duties are to be born to make her husband feel and enjoy life, however I am not a male and I disagree 100% with the things that a women should do to give their husbands that kind of pleasure if they would have to sacrifice there lives into becoming like a slave for their husbands. I agree with the author about everything she has said. Because it is all true and that's what men really want and expect from there wives not just there wives, but from any women they want to have an intimate relationship with.
