Man Poem by Joe Hughes

Virile, apart, strong,
Sensitive, kind, young.
Leader, outspoken, straight,
Quiet, thoughtful - a mate.
Aggressor, aggressive, hard,
Soft, lengthty lover, a card.
Protector, earner supreme,
Supporter, a dreamer of dreams.
Sower of seeds, in charge,
Waiter of kin to emerge.
Part of the match, ying and yang,
Lover of ladies gone wrong.
Form of an athlete supreme,
Ravaged by Aids - so obscene.
Maker of fortunes in banks,
Killer of people in tanks.
Priest, padre, vicar,
Criminal, rapist, killer.
Rich with yacht in the Med,
Living in ditches - no bed.
Powerful, paternal, grand,
Ribless for woman to stand.
