‘Man’
I am a woman.
As much flesh and blood as you.
I have lain in my mother’s warmth and security
for the same time as you.
Like you, I have seen the sun
and felt the wind.
The same red blood runs in
my veins.
I feel joy and sorrow
and pain
Just like you do.
The day you realize this
that I am as much human as you
may be then you might be reborn –
as a man.
You can bruise me,
you can batter me
but my spirit will remain
forever free.
And you know what,
I really feel pity
when I see you struggle
to show your might.
May be when you learn
what respect is,
what compassion is,
what kindness is,
may be then
you will be reborn-
as a Man.
