Si Yamoto Says To

She spoke of things
That may have been
Troubling him
He looked at her
And cried
Yet might
I do those
Things with you
I will be
As wrong as
She is for making
Me trouble
Am I less a man
That I am faithful
I am worthless
And made villian of
That I must respond
To her ways

She begged him
To love that
She might not
Speak of him as
A punk.
His refusal made
Her curse about him
In conversations
Might make it
Harder for him to
Rebound and be
Happy, she. Speaks
Of him as a punk.

He hears her words
Thru the gossip of
Strangers and
Says only a
Woman can love
Me these souls
Are twerps who
Speak slang to
Gossip,
And thinks making
Men weak through 
Surpression
Strengthens their
Cause.


Causes which are
Undefined and are
Socailly unproductive
