What Makes a Man a Man

What makes a man, a man?


What makes a man, a man?
Would it be the hard work he goes on with?
Or the way he goes on with hard work
Is it about how he plans his work?
Or how he works his plan
Is it about the life he lives?
Or how he lives the life
What makes a man, a man?

Is it about the choices he makes?
Or how he makes the choices
Would it be how he makes things happen?
Or how he takes things easy
Is it because he is an effectual schemer
Or an impractical; dreamer
It boggles my mind-What makes a man, a man?
