storm contained, sunshine boxed, freedom shackled.

Wonderful man (Inspired by Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou)

Handsome man ponder at my masculine size
i'm not huge or toned to appeal to the judges eyes
but when i begin to tell them
they think i'm telling lies
i say
it's in the heat of my endurence
the sweat on my neck
the direction of my stride
and the strength of my pecks
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am

i stroll into a room
just as proud as you think
and to a woman
the ladies stand or
just stare and blink
they look at me
like i'm just too crazy
i say
it's in the action of my words
the humour of my jokes
and those unusual habits
that make me a bloke
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am

others themselves have tried to know
just what they observe in me
they try so hard
but they just get charred
while trying to work out my interior simplicity
when i try to explain to them
they think i'm silly
i say
it's in the scent of my musk
the hair on my chin
my listening ears
the diamonds in my grin
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am

now you truly realize
why i keep my face low
i don't brag and prance about
with an inflated ego
when i pass by
i'll let you know
i say
it's in the love of my silence
the sincerity of my voice
the planned decision
in my style of choice
because i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am
