Unfaithful Animals

What happened to respect in love?
Passion in faithfulness?
It seems love is a dead subject.
lust running rampid in the minds of the youth.
Women seem to no longer want " the good man"!
A faithful man!
Do they yearn for heart -break?
Misery.
Men are just men!
We've been dogs since the beginning of time...
Unfaithful animals..

I am not that dude, 
but, I am a dude.
So I carry the label...

Good write Jared. You opened up a whole philisophical, theological and down to earth matter of fact subject here that has been brewing since the beginning, that lots of folks no longer want to think about which is a tribute to your poetic spirit ...that you can see it. -Robert

Nice piece Jared, i think it works both ways. Both sexes get stood on, and as Doris says - there are good ones out there >> James

Lay thy burden down, For true love is sound. It's the pretenders that don't know what true love is,,that go astray.Smile, Sincerely, Moses

People are people, whether male or female. Women can be unfaithful also. I bet just as many women are unfaithful animals as men. So men should not have to carry the label... Great writing and thought provoking.

Thank you for sharing your splendid poetry with us today Jared. I enjoyed reading it. But I don't agree with it. Some do some don't. My glass is half full. Love, Carol

Some men are faithful for a lifetime. Some do go astray and are truly sorry and repentant and never let it happen again. We can't lump all men into one basket. Glad that you are one that is faithful.Keep writing. Sara

I think a good woman wants a good man, a good man wants a good woman. A cheater is a cheater doesn't matter if man or woman these days. Good poem, very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing Jared! Love Light Truth Patty

Loved the conclusion, I rank in that category as well but am far from the label. I agree with the message it seems at times the youth today want to be mistreated rather than adored. Nice work Jared as always with this savvy write...Raul
