If I were a man~~~

If I were a man,
I would have seen my current stand
As being that of a frail maiden
One lost someplace, maybe in the sand
Or flowing along with the desert winds!

If I were a man,
I would have said to myself,
Why, be not cruel to those devoid of wealth
Rather, do lend them a hand
Help them eat, help them in any way you can!

If I were a man,
I would have learnt to paint,
The very image of the great saint
A man without any faith
Is surely one ill in health!

If I were a man,
I would have traveled the world
I would, with its scenery, have filled my soul
And would have chosen someplace, to build my nest
Someplace which would  have allowed me to both toil and rest!

If I were a man,
I would have chosen to rule
With the might of the old school
Surely, oh surely, I would have invoked fear
Surely, I would have invoked my enemy to say 'oh dear'
