A Weeping Man
They say I am a man and I must not weep,
but tonight, my child was killed ...the line of my seed
tears I cry openly I weep, I am drained
I am a weeping man tonight
They stay I must be strong because I am a man but how can I …at this moment in time, my child is not with us, I don't care what you think I am a weeping man tonight... I am crying for my boy
Someone used a knife stabbed him to his chest over a phone...a cheap cell phone...he killed my boy, it’s hard to comprehend …my boy is dead
Sorry, I can't be the man society ask me to be ...I can’t be strong tonight...Say what you will… yes… I will show my feminine side; I am a weeping man tonight...my boy is no longer with us ...why only a mother should cry he's a part of me too ...he's the line of my seed, he’s my boy …I will grieve
I will openly weep ...I am hurting too ...be strong... what does that means to me … nothing ...strong ...please...I will openly weep over my boy...he's lifeless tonight yes I will grieve...I will weep
