The Man of Men
We all want to be the man of men
setting trends like Eminem
be independant like a pendulum
and depended on to pen beyond
with wisdom for friend and young.
bettering everyone as we're second to none
defend competition titles we've won
in complete repetition we stay at the front
handling hurdles and troubles
whilst applauded and humble,
but we tumble, we fall, lose sight of it all,
see distractions and bad reactions then grumble,
back to seek satisfaction when found we want more
perhaps leads us back to miserable, I'm not sure.
We find meaning through metaphors
dream of immense reward
wish many miracles
whilst tending our given cause.
Life is all these things, the dreams and real scenes,
and we're living it,
now imagine your life if you were never given it.
Empty.
*Each man is the man of men,
(and because of the politically correct age we live in),
I'll state, men stand equal to women,
and each woman is the woman of women,
because those that are not, aren't living,
imagine your life if it was never given.
