Poem
They wonder what is going on with all our men today, why they seem unmotivated and resigned to their fate, what happened to the people who stormed bloody Normandy, that type of guy we never really see. I think we must remember that men all those years ago never did have to question that goodness they should know. they grew up on the westerns, strong men in hats of white, constantly feeding the hero inside. Now it is ‘sensitivity’ that dominates our world, boys in school are drugged because they are not little girls, all of that male energy treated like a curse, and as they grow it only gets much worse. Our teachers call us toxic, say we love to rape, most of us would kill ourselves rather than violate, told that we are guilty if a woman does accuse, pilloried all over the evening news. If we get no due process and are cursed as thugs, there comes a point when even we have put up with too much. The men who could beat the world all simply walk away, a rigged game is one you shouldn’t play. If you want to reverse this then proclaim loud the truth, recognize the differences in boys, starting at youth. Take that aggressive impulse and put it to some good, give them a fair shake like fair folks should. Because if they have no heroes, no path to see them through, then all that masculinity will boomerang on you, forget the demonization, instead please help them find a way to feed the great hero inside
