DON'T READ IF YOU HAVE A TEMPER!!

BETTER THAN YOU by Uche Aniagu
(A Poem)


If you think you are a man
I know I am a woman
If you think you are better
I know you are just different
If you think what makes you a man
Is your below-the-belt equipment
What, friend, is trapped between my dog’s hind limbs?
If you think it’s the folks under you
Wait till you see those at the Queen’s command
And for all I know she is no man
If you think what makes you a man
Is that you intend to wed a lass
The pope doesn’t intend to wed
And he is no less a man
Not to talk of the Western gay
If you think it’s ‘cause you have no gown
Nobody does nowadays
Even street Monkey Entertainer wears pants
And for crying out loud he’s no man, or is he?
If you think you have more money than the Queen
I’ll be a fool to tell how much I have
And you may be slaving away for the whore’s purse
If you think you have strength in your bones
And think me weaker than a vegetable
If you think you know my weak point
You simply forgot I know yours
You may keep the muscles, for all I care
I have the wit and can the muscles control
To serve me, myself and I
If you think it’s that you are the heir
Shame for reaping where you sowed naught
If you think you are superior
Of course you are to scarecrows, bald birds and whatnots
And even they could disagree
If you think you do things faster than me
You mean leaving sooner for kingdom come
If you think you are the head of the house
And I know I’m the heart of the home
In no time the head may become the skull
And if you think you you’re sick of being a man
Sorry, you are too chicken to be a woman!
