To the Man Ruining it for all of us

It's a scary time to be man right now

One woman comes against you

Speaks out and bam you're in jail

 

Do we deserve this?

I mean, I’d like to think I don't but as a whole men deserve this

We want what we want and don't care who we hurt

We cat call and “Damn baby”

Trying to impress them with how impressed we are

 

Never mind we though

I'm talking to you

To the man who slapped her ass in the grocery store

I'd love for her to steal your credit card

Max it out on valentine's gifts because you wont

You’re too busy complaining about how there's not enough salt on your dinner

Or how this house is never clean

 

To the man who works 4 thousand miles away

Three weeks home

Six weeks at work

Because you can't stand the sight of your wife

You send a check and tell her to feed Six kids on a 200 dollar budget

When she calls you to vent about that frustrating moment

You ignore her and tell her you’re too busy

Then, when you finally do get home you say

This is my 3 weeks off I don't want to talk about anything hard

 

To the man ruining all my relationships

You’ve instilled only one thing

Not love

Not courageousness

Nothing but the absolute fear of loving

and ending up like your ass

 

To the man who owns a 5 bedroom home and lives alone

You did this

You didnt make mistakes you made choices

Those choices are what you wanted

LOOK! Your wife stopped calling

Even your 6 kids have stopped costing you 200 dollars a month

‘Cause you wont even pay child support
