A Man

A Man
What defines a man? 
Is it what he accomplishes in life? 
Is it how much money he makes? 
You are the epitome of nothing whittled down to a fine point! 
You give honest, good men, a bad name. 
Is it the fact that you don`t own up to your responsibilities? 
Or could it be that you are a compulsive, habitual liar? 
Or just a copulation of everything that you have done? 
Or not done. 
The good, bad and the ugly. 
Why such harsh words, you ask? 
Because you have let down, lied to, ignored, and totally denied the existence of an innocent child. 
Who asked for none of your ********. 
MAN-UP!!
