What kind of a man can
but a man that could, would not
and who should that man be?
but the man that lives in me

I engineer a situation to situate this simulation
in which I entertain my mind
and I find the stimulation that stimulates each situation is very kind
I don't mind if I am to be
a man that only I could be
and I can see
the man that I should be
is me.

Empathy and understanding
in the making of a man
is as crucial and demanding as the
man quite understanding
who can only understand
the type of man that he can see
and any man would want to be.

Anyway the man that is the man today
must learn that what he has to pay
is his fair dues
and losing sleep will not keep the man I am
from stumping up
I can
be the man I am
and if I am that man
then that man can be me.
