A man may be a father
but that child may not  
be what saves his life.
A man can have nine women
(lord help him)
but that does not make him God.  
Men can have many things  
but you do not save them
by teaching political correctness
Or passively scolding him
For trying to survive
in a world
He does not live in.
Men are saved by strong cups
of coffee, clean shirts, and when
a woman says β€œyes that'll be fine.”
Men do not stay alive on
tips you read in magazines.
A man's soul is measured  
by the exciting explosions
that start in his heart
and end in his *****.  
Not the other way around.
