Poem
I am not afraid to say I'm a man and I cried today I am almost, wait I am ashamed of a lot of men today The way sin nature and choice The negative display they choose If being a man is to fornicate Have intercourse being unmarried with any woman they can Then I am not a man And I cry today If being a man is to sexually abuse a child Then I am not a man today I am not afraid to say I'm a man and I cried today I am almost, wait I am ashamed of a lot of men today Instead of working a job I stay in a house or apartment living off of woman, This ain't love This ain't right If I have to beat, slam, throw the woman around This ain't love But yet a lot of women say it's right The negative display they choose If being a man is to fornicate Have intercourse being unmarried with any woman they can Then I am not a man And I cry today Fathering children all over town Most men this is how they git down Will I'm here to say, The Lord will have His way So many men in the prisons So many children without their fathers at home While they too are on the rome If being a man are these characteristics Then I guess I'll never be a man This is why I cried today Don't git me wrong I'm not perfect I'm not perfect but I write this verse to say Some of us men gonna have to pay You can't keep doing God's daughters any old kind of way So if beating women is your pleasure Abusing children gives you power Hold on don't forget every man, woman, and boy girl must repent; And for heavens sake it's hard to forgive let alone forget But if we want to make to glory we must forgive always I am not afraid to say I'm a man and I cried today I am almost, wait I am ashamed of a lot of men today The way sin nature and choice The negative display they choose I'm ashamed to be a man today So I pray first for me Then I pray for the brethren And I stay, I stay up before them Then I guess I'll never be a man Pray for us the men of the world That most if not all stop, turn around and serve the Lord This is why I cried today AMEN 09/18/17 WRITTEN BY James Edward Lee Sr.
