Wolferine is alive
On streets and on roads
Everyone carries loads
Poor vendors carrying planks and boards
But...business and job folks
carry files and deadlines
and feed cubs and housewives
Some are rough and act tough
Some are kind, and they love
Some are shallow and tired
Some are jobless and fired
But there is a Wolferine inside all of them
a spirit to keep feeding their fam
a fire to rip apart the rat race
a rebellion to start the rich one's disgrace
Wolferine never dies
even when the time flies
Some let her rage and heat rip the chain
Some suppose that she is dead in strain
But Wolferine is immortal until you live
She turns strong or stiff
She is alive.

Your Poem's Voice
Mix of personal struggle (vendors, workers) and abstract philosophy (Wolverine spirit, immortality)
Dense packing of social observations, character types, and metaphorical ideas throughout
Predominantly empowering despite hardship; celebrates resilience and inner strength
Aggressive, driving language: rip, rage, rebellion, explosive metaphors throughout
Approximately 24 lines; falls in 16-30 range
Heavy use of extended metaphor (Wolverine), personification, vivid imagery
Primarily lyric-reflective with some narrative cataloging of personas
