To be a man is quite unknown
How to rule this earthly throne
Not many men, i fear do know
What it is to rule this throne i know
A macho man with hard spiked hair
Will run from virtue hard and fair
Honour, truth and fairness just
To swallow pride and loose his lust
There's many things a man must know
That make him male that make him so
The path I choose, the image I take
May seem effeminate, to fools I make
A truth beknown to me, I say
To be a man takes many a day
It's not enough to lust and drool
To chase your pride around a fool
Discipline, honour, strength and trust
Much what I hold higher than lust.
A macho man, a townie lad
Aren't men to me, and I'm so glad
That with the pain I tolerate
that I am man i think they hate
The strength I get from all due pain
To be a man, to smile again.
A poem from my book `Woodwhispers` published on Amazon.
