I own the fire

I own the woman

I shot the lynx

With my bow and arrow



I am a hunter

I am a keeper

I break my back

For the good of my children



I Am A Man



The big ct was tearing

The beast he was swirling

With blood on his teeth

His black eyes were early



I faced my attacker

A spear in my hand

My heart was beating faster

This could be my final stand



I Am A Man



The beast followed further

He charged my intention

He must have a family

He looks starved for affection



He could stamp out my fire

He could steal my woman

He could break up my family

I'm prepared to kill him



I Am A Man



I am a provider

I take what I must

The beast he lay dying

In a pool of blood, sweat, and dust



So I returned to my fire

I remained by my woman

I ate with my children

The cat and the lynx



For I am a Man
