The Responses of Men


When's the last time you reached under a girls shirt? 
Not for her breast but for the heart underneath her chest
 
That beats, to fuel the emotions that long to express
her qualities and emotions outside the appeal of sex
 
When's the last time you saw a girl undress? 
 
Not her clothes to reveal physical nudity but the rags of shame caused by years of distress 
over her body's ability to impress the so-called men she refers to as the opposite sex
 
So I ask again... when's the last time you saw a girl undress? 
Her false worthiness based on the societal injections of what the so-called "men" expect
 
When's the last time there was a girl you spontaneously caressed?
 
Not her body with unwanted physical connection
but her mind with constructive concepts that displayed her value and stimulated her intellect 
 
When's the last time you made a girl erect? 
 
Not of her genitalia but of the spiritual context,
where she was hot with her passions and her lips were stained with the talk of her dreams confessed
 
 
Listen closely...
 
Boys think of women as a sexual objects
but real men see them as souls oppressed by the preconceived notions of their flesh 
 
So...
 
To the ones who have answered my questions as a boy would
don't you dare categorize your self as men 
 
How do you kiss your mother with a clear conscience? 
Stop treating women as pieces of meat won at a sports game raffle contest 
 
I stand for the women that deserve respect and honor, which is inherently all of them 
For all women deserve to know their value and to live in a world filled with humble gentlemen 
 
But it's sad to say there are too many arrogant aggressive boys and not enough genuine gentlemen 
 
But I, along with the ones who answered my questions as men,
will educate the boys amongst us and put women's demoralization to an absolute end.
