Men
The curse of being a man
Is isolation
But call it not by the feminine loneliness
Call it masculine stoicism
Call it masculine solitary
Call it masculine independence
Held from birth by mothers who cut us
Held at arms length by fathers who are cut
Oh I wish I could give all those young boys flower crowns
Oh that I could teach them to be sweet to each other
And that tears aren't just for girls
What a wonderful place
the world might've been
If we had never been thought of
Or labeled as
men
Superb and enlightened
Superb and enlightened commentary on the harmful social conditioning men experience from birth.
I was particularly charmed by your humanitarian candor, eloquence and insight in these words:
"Oh I wish I could give all those young boys flower crowns
Oh that I could teach them to be sweet to each other
And that tears aren't just for girls"
A crucial message, skillfully penned. Kudos!
