The Male vs. The Man
by Charles A Green

Rated "G" by the Author.

                       The honorable man

                       will die

                       for what he believes to be the worthy cause

 

                       The male of misled manhood                   

                       perishes over foolishness

                       that could’ve been alternatively resolved

 

                       A real man will raise his kids

                       even if the woman

                       doesn’t wear his wedding band

                     

                       Whereas males

                       out of cowardness

                       run away from pregnancies

                       that are unplanned

 

                       Men do what they need to do

                       They don’t need to be reminded repeatedly

                       about handling their own business

 

                       Males do what they’re forced to do

                       and are known for not caring about forgiveness                      

 

                       Any fool can sleep around,

                       but it takes a man

                       to handle the responsibilities of sex

 

                       Only a man can teach a boy how to be a man.

                       Dad’s being there

                       can’t be replaced with a mere child support check

 

                       Real men use their strength to comfort and heal

                       Many males go out of their way to rob and steal

                       A lot of them can’t achieve anything worthwhile on their own

                       which is why some “need” drugs to deal

 

                       Just as light contrasts darkness

                       so it is when comparing the male to the man

 

                       Many men don’t get the credit they deserve

                       They are the ones

                       who should be

                       recognized

                       as our sons’ role models

And there we have it, the 'importance of substance' and 'real people'.
My mother used to say that the world is made up of two species - The Real People and the padding. I'd say we have rather too much padding,

these powerful words should be posted to every male baby's butt and recited to him each day if he's not lucky enough to be going home with a 'real' man...father or not.

Beautiful and relevant. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very wise words. There are unsung heroes everywhere, but the notoriety goes to the males who live off their testosterone instead of their brains. Thanks for sharing.
