Mens Secrets

Men’s Secrets

There are men of god who like innocence for their pleasure.
There are coaches, teachers etc., who never – their actions – measure,
as they destroy the impeccability of this, our worlds Treasure.

There are so many men – thoughtless – leaving so many scares.
Destroying the spirits, the souls, the luster of so many Stares.
Leaving them as barren, distant, cold as the surface of mars.

What is in man’s heart ?, that drives all this horror, all this insanity.
Why do they not see ?, what they are doing to a segment ( fifty percent ) of humanity.
What ?, lies in the murky depths of these men’s sick, broken souls and heart,

that makes them shatter the chastity of a life that will never know how to start
living out their lives, and on a much higher plane 
and not know the stress, the depths, the separation caused by all their suppressed pain,

pain that comes on, comes out- screaming with every action,
action that stops one – who cares, who shows with every reaction,
yet neither – these sick men made it impossible – will find peace or satisfaction.

what an incredible poem about such a horrendous subject - so sad that the abuse still goes on and on today and it is usually many years before they get caught and so many young lives have been damaged forever. Jan x

Isn’t it that the truth !!! Thank you Jan Allison, for reading my stuff and for taking the time to comment . I used to think that it was just me, attracting women ( many have I have known, family members, including women who had lived with me) who have suffered at the hands of fathers, brothers, sisters, neighbours, class mates, etc., etc. The statics are at an alarming number – one in two women have been sexually molested. Where does a man fit into the equation ?, when involved with a woman of these experiences. No wonder relations and marriages fail . B. J. “A ” 2 ( Bill . )
