To Be A Man Poem by Tony Adah
To Be A Man
To be a man is more than
Being born a man
It is to grow with thorns like roses
Slip from the hands of catchers
Like a catfish
And smile when tossed by the waves
Of toils;
Grow a carapace like a tortoise
Inured to the vitriolics of survival
To be a man
Is to remain in the war front
Until the enemies come
And the war is won or lost
And men are separated from women.
