The Definition of a Man
What is a Man?
One who sheds no tears
Who drinks all day and night,
with vessels flooded with beer.
What is a Man?
One who has no goals,
makes his conscience dissolve,
and turns women’s hearts to holes.
What is a Man?
One who masks his pain,
Who lives, his whole life, a lie,
‘Cause since birth, he’s been gay.
What is a Man?
One who can’t be tamed
His anger stems from shame...
Six years by Father James.
What is a Man?
One who does cocaine
To balance lows with highs,
but gets lower each day.
What is a Man?
One who kills his own
Prompted to run from sirens
in bloody streets so cold.
What is a Man?
The pastor who’d molest you,
The husband who is aggressive,
The father that up and left you
What is a Man?
One who makes Cupid cry
The teenager who fakes love,
And spreads what ruins lives.
So am I not a Man,
Loving every girl who meets my eye?
I celebrate love;
Call me St. Valentine.
Am I not a Man,
Watching Lion King, sincerely balling?
When I’m on the edge, I warn the World
before I start falling.
Am I not a Man
If I’m open about my thoughts?
I don’t ever wear a mask,
I’m not afraid to get caught.
And am I not a Man
If my goal's not to look masculine
but rather be strong-willed,
profound,—even compassionate?
Am I not a Man
If I want my kids to love me so,
As I watch them blossom,
Just how a flower would grow?
Am I not a Man
If I’m inclined to be uxorious?
My passion as a lover
Adorns all; love is glorious…
Men should be sympathetic
No need for iron hearts
They can shed tears for homeless kids
That will probably starve.
Men should be optimists
They need demanding dreams
No amount of sex, money, or fame replaces self-esteem.
Man plays the brother, the father, and many more roles
Choose between the Light and Dark Side
When at the crossroads.
The purest men are heroes,
They are in my eyes
A Man who knows how to be human:
The best kind alive.
