'The Unknown Man' Poem by Michael Micmac Mccrory

‘THE UNKNOWN MAN’

I am the unknown man, well known to all
I am the unknown, all mankind knows me
Nobody knows I exist, but the whole world I enthral
I am invisible, there for all the world to see

I walk in darkness, always in the light
I speak in silence for the whole world to hear
Nobody see’s me, but I am always in sight
When you close your eyes, you will have me in sight

Hidden to the unseeing eye, but always on show
Always with you even when you are on your own
Outside your minds but you always know
I am right there with you in your zone

You hate me but rely on me as a friend
I am still the person you can’t abide
Cannot stand to be alone with me, you will love me to the end
You cannot stand the sight of me, but want me by your side

You do not want to know me, but will always seek me out
Of me, you will always want to be better than
You will want to be me, but always have your doubts
You want to get rid of me, but I am part of your plan

You do not want to meet me and my presence you ban
But I am not just an ordinary Dan
I am part of you, I am your clan
I am the unknown in each and every man
