Tear of a Broken Man

Tear of A Broken Man We all heard "boys don't cry" Men are just heartless and sly They aren't able to express Their emotions with any success For men are the symbol of strength No matter what their length Your size doesn't matter at all If you're a man you stand tall Men can never be broken Such a thing is unspoken Who would ever break a man's pride? That's even worse than homicide But a man is a human being Broken, isn't something worth seeing But did it happen? it did and it can Can you feel the weight of the tear of a broken man

"for men are the symbols of strength", not distress. the last line it should be "tear"s. other wise a great poem. Even with a constitution ours is not a perfect country. only God can make it right when He comes. i believe that will be soon.

Thanks, I preferred using tear, to emphasize the weight of that tear drop because when its plural it loses its significance.
