Hgarvey Daniel Esquire Poet Rhyme

Sissy -- Men Don'T Cry

I do not know what I'm going to Write
I don't want to offend, I won't fight
Are YOU a Sissy when YOU Cry at a WAKE?
Do the Salted Tears say Your Masculinity's FAKE?

As you stand by the Graveside of YOUR Only True LOVE
Salt rivers rolling down YOUR cheek : Sissy, Men Don’t cry
Do the tears (as unto Samson ) take away Your strength? YOU Die?!
YOU are no longer a Rock, The pillar the Great Man YOUR Child speaks of

Even the Welling up of Tears in YOUR eyes  Sissy, Men DOn’t Cry
Oh! Look at the little Baby Cry: go on. Get out of here YOUR not a Man
Can these Tears change YOUR Mind, Thoughts, Ideas : Do they make YOUR Soul ;Lie
Are the Solemn TEARS of SALVATION the Pathway to Heaven the Promise Land

Let there not be Tears of Fear, Tears of Joy,  Tears of excruciating  PAIN
You are a Man Do not let down  Your manly defenses, Do not let YOUR Tears Rain
Sissy - Men DON’t Cry unsheathe thy sword show the World the Tear, YOU’VE Slain
I Cry for those who have never shed a Tear, Emotions buried inside with shackle and Chain

                                         Sissy --  MEN  DON’T  CRY
                                          I Respectfully Disagree
                                          Should a Man Shed a TEAR
                                           Silently  or publicly
                                            YOU ARE STILL A MAN

Dedicated With Honor and Respect To  John Rhinem  An  Michael Jordan

John Heck December 28, 2008 at 1:48 PM HG - The ability for anyone to cry is a sign of strong emotions felt by an individual. Whether the tears be of happiness, joy, sadness or pride - crying is a sense of "the definition/truisms of innermost feelings." A terrific write I hope more readers come to inhale and respect. Wonderfully penned! Wishing you a Happy & Blessed New Year. Peace always, John
