Man

Man A word so small but huge with emotions, stress but you have to tag along So creative yet so blind So loving yet so abusive So manipulative, lying and cheating in a sensible way yet so emotional Man, a family, love, respect yet so arrogant An ear, shoulder to lean on and encouraging But a killer in a leopard skin Man, very smooth talking creature A smile that turn to sorrows and pain Oh man the creator of a woman through bone yet so conniving like an on-going headache A comfort, protector and a free ride yet park station in terms of feelings, care and emotions Confusion, misinterpretation, Father, uncle, husband yet a rapist Man, oh man A fighter, a role model yet cruel An adviser, a friend yet so jealous in a mannerly way A hell sender like terminal disease Man yes man, man oh man

A complexity reflected in your poem even I cannot understand, nice commentary, but I am inspired to write a repose to this

The massage here is Men can be defined in two different characters. That's why I wrote "Reflection of a true man" for better explanation to a "Man" one

Thanks for the profound words. I believe that if we write poems like these we can save people out who really want to change their lives out there.
