Personalities

I am the boy who just wants to have fun.
I am the one that takes life as a game,
hit, miss and run.
I am the Man working hard to make a life.
I am the father with children and wife.
I am the Scoutmaster camping outdoors.
I am the Pimp selling the whores.
I am the Prophet, a man of many words.
I am old and gray feeding the birds.
I am the Hunter seeking his prey.
I am the Chef fixing a tray.
I am the Gambler dealing to a crowd.
I am the Drunk obnoxious and loud.
I am the Preist seeking perfection.
I am the Junkie high on injection.
I am the Crimminal fleeing from the law.
I am the Man in the woods,
destroying nature with a saw.
I am the Beast that prowls in the night.
I am the Bogeyman spreading fear and fright.
I am the Cowboy out on the trail.
I am the little Crippled Boy,
so weak and so frail.
I am the Builder that makes your homes.
I am the Traveler that wonders and roams.
I am the Soldier who fights to survive.
I am the Doctor that keeps you alive.
I am the Sculptor, the artist in paint.
I am the Good, the Evil, the Bad and the Saint.
I am the Beggar in the street,
looking for a handout, a peice of meat.
I am the Poorly, I am the Well.
I am the Heaven, I am the Hell.
I am the one they call MAN.
I am all, for ALL THAT I AM.
