Man of Lust
Brawny, tall, powerful
Compassionate, worldly, teacher
Beautiful angel
They tell me you are sinister but I don't believe them, for I have seen your compassion.
And they tell me you are forbidden, but I say they are malicious.
And they tell me you have a sordid soul, but I have seen your humanity.
And they tell me you are brutal, and my reply is;
I have seen your altruistic ways
I have been drawn deep into your soul
I see no fallacy
And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this, my love.
I give them back the sneer and say to them;
Come and show me another soul with lifted head, singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and agile
Loving as a mother to her young, affectionate with good intent to all
Kindness, warmth, geniality
Beneloventness, gentleness
Thoughtfulness, holiness
Under the cool indifference, impressionable beauty
Smiles with gleaming teeth
Under the corroding skin a free soul
Laughing as the young man laughs
Laughing the sweet, tender, brawling laughter of youth
Proud to be compassionate, worldly, teacher, beautiful angel
Man of Lust
