Stand and Fight


Everything comes to truth

When a man holds in his scream.

You can see everything about him.

If you only open and see

A myth has been told

Since the dawn of time,

Of a man's powerful hide.

His toleration for the crazed,

Twisting in and out

Of the web of tangled lies.

Out men are what you supposedly

What you call invincible.

But let's see who they really are

While we place a threat on their family.

Their weakest part.

Their softest skin to puncture.

Toy with his head.

Press on with his loved ones.

He will cry,

And his pleas will spill.

He will tremble in shame

For his slander was bound to disembark.

Out men will hold his axiom,

Until the day they part.

Everyday it will come chore

Until the shadow grows dense.

There is a simple cure

To this odium our men hide behind.

Reassure him to live the crock.

Call upon him to stand and fight like a man.
