As much as I had thought of him to be a male, <br />That much he is not; <br />Half-neutered he is, <br />Half a male. <br /> <br />A life goes by, <br />And you may sit and lie with a man, <br /> but how much can you come to know a real man? <br />He whom I so long thought <br />I knew - <br />He whom I know is nothing like that, <br />In fact, he's the one I most don't know. <br /> <br />As much as I had thought him to be man, <br />That much he is not: <br />Half-beast he is, <br />Half a man.<br /><br />Taslima Nasrin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acquaintance-5/
