MAN

MAN

Beware the wretched monster 
that lurks in every man,
bereft of conscience, heart, and soul,
once sword's placed in his hand

Some need not this instigation 
they live in such a state.
Stolen virtue, theft and murder 
'tis hatred ills their fate.

Their flaws projected aimlessly, 
at friend and foe alike.
Take no account while of the same, 
paints words like heil and reich.

Such ugliness comes oozing out
their bitter crusty faces.
Unrestrained by guilt and shame,
their genders' big disgraces.

Real men need to take control,
step up unto the plate.
No end in sight to doing right.
End bigotry and hate.
