The Simplest Man

Just another spur of the moment poem.

The simplest man can be a Father
A husband
Or a friend
But that alone does not make him a simple man

Usually always taken for granted
But all was wants respect
And demands it

He demands it by his stance
By his works
Even by his romance

He goes to work without a care
All he truly wants is to get there
He never cares about his hair
His Clothes
His smile

He is fearless and takes on all challenges
He does his best even if no one is there

He lives
He Breathes
He cries on his knees

He helps you in a jam
He helps you move
He helps you prepare

To be truly honest
The simple man is not simple at all
He is complex but never misunderstood

His family
His friends 
Never want for anything

The simplest man will always be there

Real nice statement of what a real man is. I love your subject here! Well written also!

"Masculine without being macho", the simplest man is most often the best man in the room.

Great write! It tells the truth about men IMO, most people look at them as these fearless, heartless creatures when in reality, they hurt, cry and care just like everyone else. They're just held to a different standard because they're "men". Very creative and original. Great job keep it up! Oh the only that kind of confused me was the line, "But all was wants respect" should that be "but all wants respect" or but all one wants is respect." If not then forgive, it just kind of threw me off when I was reading it. But overall a great job! :) 100/100 for creativity and originality.
