I am man you try to ride me crop in your hand soon you are lying your face in the sand I'm a wild spirit I cannot be ridden you'll never rein me in though I may be put through paces it only lasts so long then I will buck and I shall throw you off and then be quickly gone you will never saddle me down your spurs are no match for the fire in my soul should you spur me then you spurn me I will bite you then gallop away there'll be no harness on me no bit in my mouth you may mount me but only for so long my nostrils flare at the sight of one atop me if you ride me too hard soon, you'll be traveling alone you tried to break me til I awoke and opened my eyes
it's obvious that you don't know me
I am man climb atop me I shall carry you should you fall off I will follow you down and lay with you upon the welcome ground for a fruit offered me a harvest is returned tenderness will e'er be paid in kind give me sugar to you I will be true I swear to always carry with me a sweet spot for you too for I am man my heart belongs to you

About this poem:
mediocre older entry...or....me standing up for myself against, what was at the time, a flood of gender assassination. I was and I am now happy and proud, to be me, to be a man, to be an individual.
