Hello Erica and thank you for your comment. I guess its true that the poem is a bit ambiguous. When I wrote this I was thinking of rape, something which happens to the victim, just happens and they are left with the awful and life destroying consequences, while most of those who commit this heinous crime walk free,and unperturbed by what they have done..
The point of the poem is that "life" can be like this as well... and in all our innocence we are raped and used and abused by the powers that be.....
the reference to "man" is one of mankind in general, and perhaps I could have used a more "A" sexual reference.... but it does not refer to just "men" and nothing in me would consider womanhood and manhood as being separated by gender.
The poem, was written with the idea that "life" just happens to us all, and for a great deal of the time it is not always good, or uplifting, in fact it can seem like a defilement of all we believe as people....
