The Man, The Hero - A Poem To Celebrate The Menfolk by Nobody: 8:54pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
He was created first and then he got a partner But despite being older and way wiser He was the worker and the farmer And daily he had to report to the father How he had managed the garden’s matter A hero he was, and still is… All she did was eat and sleep Ate the fruit, one for him to keep Home he came just for the hope of rest Just for the apple to become his test He did all but she never did the rest The curse came real, and still is… Oh, many children was begotten of him Through upheavals and lots of tears Yet his plights still run through the bloodline Lots of work he does and less credit he gets For his is a fate that was made tough But a hero he was and still is… He must propose with a jeep If the lady will be his to eternally keep For his wife and children he must lose all sleep No reward he must ask to reap Lest he becomes the miser she cannot stand But a hero he was, and still is… Only perfumes he gets on his name-day But on hers he must close the street and make her day Even when his rivals show up and steal the day He must keep calm and no words say He always must be calm and loyal he must stay He was a hero and still is… All the fees he must pay But no word of complaint he must say No matter what becomes of his pay Before his woman, wealth he must lay ‘A hero he is’, will she say? But a hero he was, and still is… Lots of debt he will always manage But every situation he must salvage For his family, wars he must wage Will they call him a hero when they come of age? Or will they with ingratitude put him in a cage? Yet a hero he was, and still is… While he sleeps and writhes in pain She dresses well and fashion gets slain But roam the city he must, just like Cain Solve all problems with just one brain Even though she treats him with disdain All the same, a hero he was and always will be! 1 Like 1 Share |
