malehood#3

it's been said it's good for the soul

sometimes
there is a moment
when confession
must come
must flow like lava
spewing from some
mysterious place
deep within the
bowels of one's
soul

we are mere males
convinced we are
much more

convinced it is truth
not myth
that we are made
in His image

i confess

we cannot
emotionally
believe any evidence
to the contrary

i confess

there is this
diabolical urge
to diminish the
other half of our
equation
and still insist
they call us
heroes
