Question: What is the theme for this poem and can you answer the following questions!?
By: Walt Whitman

ONE’S-SELF I sing—a simple, separate Person;
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse!.

Of Physiology from top to toe I sing;
Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse—I say the Form complete is worthier far;
The Female equally with the male I sing!. 5

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful—for freest action form’d, under the laws divine,
The Modern Man I sing!.

Does this poem seem date or remains relevant today!.
