Who do you be?

At this point in life
a man has two
reasons to live
to face and fight
or to hit and fly.

If he is who he is
then he be a sword
If he be not
then he be a kafir
to be erased
on the day of battle.

On this frame of time
a woman has
two reasons to live
to stand and be
or to walk and flee.

A woman of stand
is the pearl of the eye
and she be a queen.

Her latter is an eel
a pain from within
and she be forgotten
for like wind of myth
she knows not
where she goes.
