Inevitable fate of a He

The cock also sweat
Sweating beneath the undaunted hair
Though unseen, untethered 
Unnoticed yet vulnerable.

The male lion also weep
Weeping gently and silently
With insignificant traces 
Though galloping and parading
In confidence which left creatures
Marvelled and tender.

The virile also feels
They also go through pains 
Pains seen and unseen
Though eye catching faces 
And beautiful faces are worn over 

Should the Bull go begging when in awe of death?
Should the mighty cry ?
Should the Cheetah crawl ?
Should the Tiger be afraid?

In street, the virile is left alone
Detached, chastened and stranded
Moving to and fro 
But no place to call home.

Even when he wants to be known 
And cherished, he is deprived.

Should humanity be switched?
Even when switched, will he be known ?
Will he be recognized?
Or will he be appreciated?

He is all alone
Longing to overcome 
Though no hope of winning
But hanging on till the driver arrives
And all is left behind.
