The Animal In Me

Is it legal for me To call myself an animal? Whilst human is what I try to be For the animal in me Is transparent to see If I get scared I plea or flee Sometimes I show bravery like a lion With nerves of steel made of iron Sometimes I give off a scent In the heat of the moment As a woman I have my season When you can capture me on the heat Till today, I do not understand the reason Why I hunt then, like an animal hunting for its meat The animal in me is confused The human in me is amused Is it legal for me To call myself an animal? Without being a cannibal I know my right from wrong Taught by my guardians tongue But even an animal knows where it belongs Whilst trained with the right punishment song The fact is actual I am an animal Being human is my identity While the only difference of reality; Is the language! Ah ha! The language! The language in which we all engage Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi
