“Real Men”
Sharing this, because….. well it’s just brilliant, and didn’t know that it was okay to share. Please enjoy this amazing poet’s words.
today
a cringeworthy lyric
gave me pause
for i was stricken
by the oddest notion
it was a moment
in which all
frames of reference
were at my disposal
“what makes a real man?”
i pondered…
responsibility
protecting loved ones
defending honor
dependability
trustworthiness
loyalty
voicing truth
integrity…
as i stood there
i began to see
that it mattered not
how many traits
i listed
for right then i suddenly realized
the only real men
i had ever known
were women

I keep praying a revolution happens, and that they will appear in large numbers again. The same way I pray for common sense to no longer be a super power. lol
