My Son

My son listen to me
You are deceived because
You chosed to be deceived
The fall of women is their
Ears and their emotions

My son listen to me
You are a man and will
Fall because of your eyes
And your inability to control and
Rule over your wills

My son teach your daughters
To know that beauty is
In the character and
What makes a man is not strength
For it fades as beauty does
The beauty of men is in their
Commitment

My son listen to me
You are different because
The trauma's of life have
Seen you yet you scale through
Like warriors of Texas
Be intimate to your commitment
The you will come to know that
Ageing is closer to all like the future
