I never did like weak men

men who begged with their eyes

and sought forgiveness through their tears

who justified their actions with excuses of abandoned fathers

men who loved to ridicule and cow with not one kind word to spare for a child who crave their approval

men who smoke their lives away and even asked their child for coins to buy cigarettes

men who rummage through the house looking for what they did not work to put down

and stomp off in anger and frustration when they come up empty

men who beat women using brute strength to cow into submission that which they did not have the courage to leave

honing frustration at their own weakness into a deadly skill

men who threaten women with violence and rip their children from them leaving behind  years of sorrow and regret

wounds still left to heal

men who turn to their old mothers constantly using her as support even when she is old and gray and weakened

who had a rough time bringing him into this world

and still he adds to the burden by giving her his children

and still taking even when he is a grandfather many times over

weak men who will continue to be weak even when old and gray

cause he never had the strength to grow a backbone and get up off their arse and find a job

any job  putting false pride aside cause there were children to clothe and feed

but sit cursing the system cause of course jobs grow on trees

and simply wishing one will come will do the trick!

weak men who leave responsibility to the women stupid enough to take them up for him

offering excuses out of guilt for how he was begotten and raised

or how he's loving when satiated with the body and food they provide

weak woman supporting weak man as he sucks her dry...will not stop until she dies

weak men

i met a weak man who looked trouble in the eye and walked away

while I weak woman myself looked on ....doing same

perpetuating the  cycle of generations of weak black men and weak  black woman

weakness.

Never again will i succumb to numbing fear that paralysis one from within

or allow a weak black man to  transmit his weakness upon me

offering excuse for his weakness

daughters often marry their fathers

not me and be accursed the very thought of meeting a man whom cannot stand up to his responsibilities

look past his own history and carve out his destiny

but crawl sniveling to me to provide what he cant find within himself

I hate weak men and even worse I pity them.
