A Man

This poem describes the epidemic that America is facing. It talks about the male that is being accepted as a man.

 

 

You think you're a man

Just cause u got some s**t that swings in your pants

You every day

Lil boys out there

Pretending and playin

Sleeping with women

Who are really just w****s

Wearing baggy clothes

Makin babies

While all along you’re children yourselves

Scared to be what a real man is

Too scared to protect their women

And too trifling to feed their seed

What they need to do

Is gather up all of the so called men

Standing on the corners

Wearing a man’s face

Snatch them up and school em'

Cause somewhere along the line

Some fool pretending to be a man

Fooled em'

Into thinking that false image

Was what a real man is

F**k it get rid of em

The world is better without em

I know you know what I mean

Because a boy pretending to be man

Ain’t worth a damn thing

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

It's ok to disagree with what is being said. I only ask that you consider the words being spoken. Is it you to whom I speak. If your actions fit this poem then consider making a change. If you know someone like the man in this poem having a talk with them. Nothing changes unles at first you take action.

I kinda of understand what you are talking about a boy pretending to be a man. Yes, I agree with take them off the corners and teach them what it is to be a man. A man is more than a mustache and a third leg( if you know what I mean). this little poem is straight foward , so to me that is good. There is a whole lots of boys (men) like this, and we do need them to have the courage and education on how to be a man. I liked it.
