A writing for young men in abusive parental situations. Defining what a man is. |
Little Boy Into this world Comes a man Head of house No set plan Heart of a lion Strength of the mouse Future decided No mentors, unguided Questions answered With anger and violence Memory deposits Blue lights reflect fists Bloody from struggle Out-manned in the tussle Stop proving this man Coward and liars demand Respect from the weak Scared hit before peak Descriptions of valor In the mind create power Only you know the truth Deception enables the abuse Souls crushed again We need less of these men Boys seek victims In children and women Men protect family Unconditionally, show me Little boy you’re a man Show me that you can Steer this car, lead this ship Shattered windshield, memory clip This man, little boy Emotions of lead, an imported toy Leverage created, art of war Scars healed, again torn Confusion persists Unspoken words are remiss Goals evolve on my list Clear paths don’t exists Opportunities missed Questions to resist Cheek never kissed With no one to turn to Eyes look to the wrist Boy or a man Words hit the wolf Hands hits the lamb Learned behaviors ignored Father, sons tallies scored Neither can win Are we boys, are we men Look at me now What do you see Little boy you love Man you hate Or just me |
