Canal

People talk about me, before and after meetings
Talks on how nice I am and how ugly I look
They become insane every time they think of me
Good minds become bad minds whenever I appear, all these because I am the boss

I am the canal, passage found in females
I am the canal that releases all humans
I am the canal that drives drivers dizzy
I am the canal searched for by searchers
I am the canal hidden between the poles

I, canal, am deep, sweet, small but yet ugly enough to drive giants crazy
I, canal, am famous, popular and yet good enough to make one rich
I, canal, am bad enough to make one abandon families
I, canal, am good enough to make one stand in street corners
I, canal, change stable minds

I, canal, strong enough to make giants cheat
I, canal, soft enough to make gays ejaculate
I, canal, small enough to enter into great minds of professors and make them morons
I, canal, serious enough to be operated by gynaecologists only
I, canal, interesting enough to be taught by teachers at schools
I, canal, important enough to be found in books of physiology
I, canal, grow older and deeper like any other human
I, canal, powerful, useful, playful, and beautiful
I, canal, always playing an important role in population growth
I, canal, never untrue, unsafe, unemployed, unexpected, unfair and unfit
I, canal, don’t liberate, but complicate!

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
Sad but true!
