The idea of man has changed. We no longer build things, But have to take care of our manicures. We no longer grow a forest upon our face, But shave every inch of real estate; Such that others others buy into our facade. No more princes looking for a fight- On their perilous journey to find the princess. Now it seems all the princes are searching for another prince. I think for the sole reason, That man is trying to find a real man. Someone to him to start a fire, To swing a sword, or have unconditional love. Bottled aggression turns into feminism, Yet I’m not saying women are weak. Very much to the contrary, They can place a deep fear in any man. That’s their job: to keep us grounded. With two men or (wo)men, No balance is found and the cycle turns. A man that doesn’t fight gets left behind, And will be murdered under his bed. (His favorite hiding spot) I understand the blame mostly falls on change, But be a man, a rock, steady and un-moveable.

Drop the Wo Man
