and god created woman...

had a thought today
when fending off a surprisingly
delicate and clever attempt by a young female
to bend me to her will

perhaps I am going about this whole relationship thing
entirely the wrong way
especially considering my current environment

to look for an equal
a partner is foolish
among the crowded halls of education

for it is packed with malleable minds
yearning learning and experience to define them

to expect nay even to hope
to find a woman with the strengths and will
that I would require
let alone the experience which is desirable
is preposterous

which leaves me with two options
either ignore the vast pool of females in the college
or seek out a woman outside of said pool

the problems with the latter are many
first off this is the south
by the time they are eighteen
they are generally either married, in college
or raising some pathetic bastards child

so the available pool of women
which I would target is not only slim but poorly suited

the former pool has many issues as well
but also has great potential
as well as playing into my existing strengths

instead of finding the perfect woman
I could simply create her
take a nubile and promising young mind
[and body of course]
and mold and shape her into what I require

training women has always been
something of a speciality of mine

to be completely accurate
training people has always been a speciality of mine

they are not much harder than pets to be honest
they just require different motivation

instilling the right perceptions and motivations
has been a talent of mine since I was a child
selling the dream, selling the image
has always been easy
sure I suppose there have been failures
but those were my younger days

and perfection is hard to come by in ones youth
besides my failures were more a fault of believing the job complete
to early and allowing negative influences to undo my handiwork

I have three proteges
my children
adopted over the years
it has been my passion to guide
to instill
direction, style, virtue and most importantly resilience

now buff, and everyone else for that matter
these are not minions
I have little use or time to devote on such unworthy wretches
minions are to be used as convenient and discarded

I am talking about strong independent minds
with a loyalty bred of devotion and experience

they are loyal not out of ideals
but understanding and consistency of values

I have been there for them and trained them
that to repay that loyalty is the highest calling
As I have bled for them, they will bleed for me
for there must always be a place for sacrifice

back to my original thought and my original point

lest you mistake me
I am not looking to craft some perfect obedient doll
to drape over my arm and parade about as needed
though it is well within my means
it would not suit my desires

what I am talking about is creating an equal
molding one impressionable mind into a forceful presence
a woman of will and independence
building into her fortitude and resolution

to take from shapeless mass
and create a partner for my future endeavors

it would require a delicate hand
a blend of seduction and instruction
a gentle tease combined with a guiding hand

Minerva
darling
from this moist clay
I shall mold you in my own image
