WHAT IS?


 

                                        What is a song to a man
                                                 without a need,
                                                 without a desire,
                                                 without an experience
                                                 to give it meaning
                                                 to giv eit purpose?

                                        What is a peach to a man
                                                 without taste,
                                                 without hunger?

                                        What are principles to a man
                                                 without self control,
                                                 without morals,
 

                                        What is an idea to a man
                                                 without dreams,
                                                 without fantasies,
                                                 without imagination,
                                                 without thought?
 

                                        What is a theatre to a man
                                                 without vision,
                                                 without culture?

                                        What is pain to a man
                                                 without feeling?

                                        What is a dream to a man
                                                 without a goal,
                                                 without an aim,
                                                 without hope?

                                        What is an edge to a man
                                                 without limits?

                                        What is a woman to a man
                                                 without love,
                                                 without tenderness,
                                                 without affection?

                                        What am I
                                                 without you?
