I AM NOT A MAN                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I am not a man.I cant earn a living,buy new things for my family.I have acne and a small peter.                                                                                  I am not a man. I dont like football,boxing and cars.I like to express my feelings.I even like to put my arm around friends shoulder.              I am not a man. I wont play the role assigned to me- the role created by Madison Avenue,Playboy,Hollywood and  Oliver Cromwell. Television does not dictate my behaviour.                                                                                                           I am not a man. Once when i shot a squirrel I swore that I would never kill again.I gave up meat. The sight of blood makes me sick .I like flowers.                                                                                                        I am not a man. I went to prison for resisting the draft. I do not fight when real men beat me up and call me queer. I dislike violence.                                                                                                             I am not a man. I have  never raped a woman . I dont hate blacks. I dont get emotional when the flag is waved. I dont think I should love America or leave it. I think  I should laugh at it.                                                                                                                          I am not a man. I have never had the clap.                                                                                                                    I am not a man Playboy is not my favourite  magazine.                                                                                                          I am not a man. I cry when i am unhappy.                                                   I am not a man. I do not fell superior to women.                                        I am not a man. I dont wear  a jockstrap.                                                     I am not a man. I write poetry.                                                                        I am not a man. I meditate on Peace and Love.                                                                                                                    I am not a man.
