A Boy in Mans ClothingA Poem by LenaHow do one define a Man?So you claim to be a man For charity, justice and love you stand But where is your Honor Man was made in the image of God What he represents is not a Fraud Charity springs form the heart To see someone in need you don’t just depart Justice speaks of balance and fairness Not only receiving but giving in earnest Love is given with respect Not with treachery that causes regret You see, Honor comes from the Soul of a Man That in their dealings with others, not even his enemies can reprimand Do you clearly emulate all these traits you are owning, Or are you really just a Boy hiding in Man’s clothing You are afraid of the consequences of your own actions, But still these actions you take Don’t you know, a mans’ word is his bond This is a trait of which man is fond Knowing when in error he has gone He’s man enough to admit that he is wrong A supreme quality of Man, is his ability to look beyond where he now stand Yes you claim to be a man, of this point you are always claiming But still all I can see is a Boy hiding inside man’s clothing
