    Defining Man

    Defining Man

     

    Who can define man?

    I need to know, I’m desperate to understand.

    What makes him think he can do anything without regard to others feelings?

    How can he look me in the eye and say “I love you” and know it’s a lie?

    Just to get the thing he thinks he need.

    What controls such selfish greed?

    Who gave him the authority to say mean degrading things to me?

    Raising his fist to harm me!

    If I were a man of his size,

    Would he step aside?

    Run and hide?

    God didn’t put him here to rule me

    There’s only one king of kings you see

    How does he expect to be listened to?

    Oozing from his mouth are dirty untruths

    Tell me who gave man the right to take a life because he no longer wants his wife

    Too sorry to pay alimony or child support

    Avoiding being summoned to court

    What demon , so intense

     makes one steal a child’s innocence

    Who does he see when he looks in the mirror?

    Does he see what I see, is anything clearer?

    Why do they worship money, sex, and power?

    Destroying homes from hour to hour

    Having these things doesn’t make a man

    It’s all a part of Satan’s perfect plan

    To break him down; making him creep, creeper

    Digging his hole deeper, deeper

    Will a real man stand. Are there any around?

    Let me see you. Can you make a sound?

    I don’t believe this is how man is meant to be

    How can I encourage my daughter to someday marry?

    Tell me who can define man?

    Will somebody help a sista understand?

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
