Be a Man Or Die

What is a Man?
Through life I wondered...
Is it something with his age?
Or, the rep he has? Or the clothes he wears?
Or,...is it the girl he gets?
Or, the food he eats?
No.  Through the struggle of life,
I understand.
A Man, is someone who does something.
Something other than for himself.
He doesn't think of himself,
but for the well being of others.
He doesn't go delight himself,
in meaningless things, because
his delight...is in the ones...he cares for.
This is a Man.
The one who hurts himself,
because carrying the responsibility
has pierced his shoulders.
You would think that he would
bandage himself, but that pain...
is the sign, of his...
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS.
This man,...through the hardships,
trials, the ups and downs, ...
through this, is formed a Man.
So, to those who have 
what it takes, to live in this life,
you only have one option,
and I tell you no lie.
Be a Man, or Die.
