The Man

Tony36

Does it make you feel more like a man

To push me down

To put me down

No matter how many times I get up

No matter how many times I pick myself up

You are always there

To throw me down

To beat me down

Back into the mud

 

Does it make you feel more like a man

To belittle me

To squash 

My dreams

My hopes 

My very existence 

Does it not matter yo you

That we are both human

We both make mistakes 

No you just see the ones I make

And forget your own

    Egocentrism, narcissism, selfish or whatever you call it is the core of many. A lovely write

          It makes them feel more caveman, at least, but then again, that is really insulting to cavemen. 🤣 Well done, Tony. An important write. To hell with toxic masculinity. 👏🌹

            The nastier side of human traits well expressed in this write

            Some people are like this Tony, they only want what they want at the expense and hatred of others in their lives.
