MEN

Which man is best ?

The industrious man who

labors and toils unconstrained

by regulation, whose aim is gain?

The religious man who

offers sacrifice and praise

by God’s fiat, whose aim is to save?

The autocratic man who

routs and rules unconfined

by lesser beings, whose aim is control?

The humanist man who

listens and learns, open to all

with relative views, whose aim is love?

The warrior man who

strengthens and fights unconfined

by social rules, whose aim is to win?

Why question each type 

with binary rules?

Is man not ever called upon

to be each and every one?

Would we label and libel all man kind?

Look not on the surface,

but deeper inside, where soul resides.

Honor men and those who love them

warts and all.
