To the gentleman within

To the gentleman within

A Poem by Christopher Ross Livingstone

To the gentleman within 

To the gentleman within 
I say this,
Away with the,
Outdates symbols 
Masculine strength 
Muscle and might 
Macho labels
From long ago.
Serving us no purpose 
To the gentleman within

I ask,
What the meaning?,
To be a man?
In the year of 2020.
Feelings are internal
and everlasting
Expressive
And should never be static
Submerged sensations
Expose a man to harm
Gentle and attentive 
Nature is within 
I say,
A revolution is needed,  
To the gentleman within 

The time has come 
Express your heart
Be the gentlemen with
Step aside 
Away from the expectations
And generations 
Who say,
Be a man
What is so wrong? 
To feel is to be strong 
Expressing is the new tough
Dress apart 
Wear a heart upon a sleeve
2020 is the time
Calling time 
And begin 
The revolution for the 
Gentleman within
