Advice To Young Men - Iii

III.
Another hard reality
that we should teach our boys,
unconditional love is not
something the world employs,
Unless it is your own parents
you never well get it,
the world will not offer you this,
it does not care a bit.
You will not find it is your friends,
they will live their own lives,
and honestly, as an adult,
they’ll have such little time.
You’ll never find it in your work,
they’ll fire you quickly
if they think it benefits them,
business is for money.
And sadly, even your own wife,
for all she may give you,
must put conditions of her love,
I’m sorry, but it’s true.
Be unemployed for months on end,
see how her mood does change,
if love was unconditional
then it would stay the same.
But most men in that position
are left by those they love,
most women need the provision,
they’re craving that income.
Again, it’s evolution's fault,
the design of their mind,
if they’re pregnant, or raising kids,
they have little free time.
They weren’t hunting, or fighting foes,
are not designed for that,
survival depended on what
their men killed and brought back.
Not all the wokeness in the world
can alter DNA,
despite romantic fantasies
we’re still programmed this way.
And the tragic thing about it,
when speaking of most males,
when they find truly special ones,
and all their reason fails,
they do love unconditional,
they do lose all good sense,
and fantasize their partner must
love the same way as men.
How many fortunes were sundered
by men stuck in this trap,
falling completely for a girl
Who couldn’t love that way back?
Think of the slurs for jobless men,
said by society,
realize pure love cannot exist,
chose intelligently.
