The truth you seek

The truth about Arabs you seek... At least in my point of view...

I’m the guy standing tall and looking high

I’m the guy down to earth but loves the sky

 

For the locks I’m the key

And in hard times I’m the man to see

 

I’m the Arab that you’ll never shake

A fortress you’ll never brake

 

For my land I’ll put my life in stake

Always true and never fake

 

I have the style and always chic

I’m unusual and I’m unique

 

I will never be another brick on the wall

Nor another slayed veal on the mall

 

I have no rules and no dismay

For that I’ll rebel and disobey

 

I’m stranger than a wall, older than an oak

I’m the fire with a heat but without smoke

 

I’m loud and clear, honest and with no fear

For my enemies I’m a lion, but for my friends I’m such a deer

 

That’s the truth about me that you seek

I can be a strife and I can be a meek

this is insightful - i think i am not sure...that in this line "i'm the fire with a heat" you meant to either say with heat or with a heart?

i like that you used the metaphor of a lion to your enemies but a deer to your friends....

shows you know how to value yet protect.

You messed up child.....I love it! You made one thing turn into another so naturally and it just made so much sense. You are truly awesome!

Love it; self definition poems are always fun to write, though mine turn out crap, haha. Really nice job. :)
