Being a Man


(poems go here) Life as a man must be nice Walking away, never thinking twice Falling in love, to just walk away Leaving a woman with no words to say Never bearing a child, body in tact Watching your woman never get it back Gained a pants size, you’ll work that right off She works out for months with barley a loss Working for the house, paying the bills She works and does everything else, still Weekends out with all your friends She stays home working ‘til the end You landed a top job, education came through She graduated but lost her top spot to you Life as a man, pure simplicity Life as a woman, fighting for equality
