What does it mean to be a man?
To smoke, to drink, to gamble, not think.

What does it mean to be a man?
To argue, to fight, to come home late each night.

What does it mean to be a man?
To play his games, climb the ladder tall, to shift the blame, let others fall.

What does it mean to be a man?
To hunt the girls so all can see, how big a dick he is metaphorically.

What does it mean to be a man?
To love his woman, to work each day, to live his life the best he may.
To put others first, to friends be free, to share his life, giving cheerfully.
To be truthful and honest, to be himself, whether that leads him to poverty or wealth.
To provide his kids, and be there too, to build them up, great deeds they'll do.
To fight for right and peace and truth, to protect the weak, the sad, and uncouth.

I wonder if we know what men are today and what men were designed to be.

It's easier to be the former. It takes a real man to be the latter.
