One Man's News, Poetry, and Views on Life

Definition of a Man

Men come good and bad, strong and weak, or short and tall
Men make men, without that example they stay boys to the end
Leaning on himself and relying on his skills to get ahead is his will
He is more than testosterone that makes his blood run hot and puts hair on his chest

Men do not fear less but control self when faced with terror others never dare to dream
Children going hungry, boys being raised by mommy coppin’ squats for a piss they can’t be men like this
Boys end up cowards to the core talkin’ bout how hard they are, men don’t talk we walk
Not knowing only the strong man  remains unbroken. Hard men crack and crumble against the wall

This seed has gone to waste not nurtured by a man’s embrace
You can be controlled by your wallet and ruled by your sex and you bastards think you know respect
Few men remain, those who wear responsibility like a fine suit and take it as a sign of trust
These Men are like pots of gold at the end of rainbows a myth everyone wants to touch

Be it good or ill Men stand for something with the full force of there will
Stand for something be right in your heart, men never live life without belief worth dying for
Men are not self seeking crabs keeping each other trapped in an open box
Men see weakness as a state of mind that they must overcome

Men do steal and men do kill based on there right or wrong
These men are still convicted and great and each chooses the side he’s on
Never say a man will love unconditionally when his conditions are all he sees
Never say men will fight for those who can’t fight for themselves

Men can choose to love and choose to hate and still find the power to survive great hardship on either end
Men fall but never fail for they rise up to defend there beliefs once again
Violent or gentle your honor and faith still make you a man
Define a man by the action he takes, let his life be the definition of him
