Alejandro Sanz Stops Concert To Save Woman From Being Beaten Up

 

You can start referring to Alejandro Sanz as Mr. Superhero from now on. The 47-year-old singer earned his new title after saving a woman from being attacked by a male audience member during a concert in Rosarito, Mexico last weekend. According to reports, Sanz noticed the happenings in the front row during his performance of “La Música No Se Toca,” he then proceeded to give signals to the security entourage so they could tackle the situation.

 

Little Men

Little Men


They speak
Before thinking
They speak 
After drinking
They speak
When silence would make them wiser
They speak
The words of little men

Sadly they know not the land of the meek
Inheritance shall never be theirs to keep

They obtained a few drops of knowledge
Yet they possess no well of wisdom
They care more the vocal of their own voice
Than the heart to whom they think they speak
They lack honor, integrity, bravery and nobility
It’s simply not in their stock
They ridicule and then they mock

On deathbeds I do wonder
If they shall ever take stock
Or shall they hold greedy
Their stupidity
Taking it with them to the grave

I hope not to encounter any of these little men you speak of here. Even saying "little men" makes them much less scary.

Excellent, Arthur! Putting cowards in the limelight is tactful punishment; I can't stand bullies and others who think they've got it and know it all! Congrats on the big amount of views:) ~ Regards // paul

This is brilliant, Arthur. Every line packs a punch with it's wisdom, while keeping a lovely rhyme scheme going. "Or shall they hold greedy their stupidity taking it with them to the grave." well stated! Some men, I've actually heard, wish to be buried with their wealth just so no one else can have it! I was pleasantly surprised that this poem wasn't about aliens, as I originally thought it was going to be (little GREEN men) ...

I am enjoying reading the comments below as well as your poem. Sadly, we live in a world filled with little men. I am thinking of the song...I need a hero!! The lyrics to that one also support this theme that you captured so well.

Putting aside the rotten teeth, mangled hair and the two cock roaches, people who act this way are generally insecure.

I remember from one of my psychology classes this type of personality, an elitest, can never be wrong. Knows more about a subject than you even if it is your expertise. I had a friend like this growing up, we just let him think he was always right. No wonder he got in a fight every time we were out of our element I don't think they'll ever obtain wisdom.
