MEN
I never did like weak men
men who begged with their eyes
and sought forgiveness through their tears
who justified their actions with excuses of abandoned fathers
men who loved to ridicule and cow with not one kind word to spare for a child who crave their approval
men who smoke their lives away and even asked their child for coins to buy cigarettes
men who rummage through the house looking for what they did not work to put down
and stomp off in anger and frustration when they come up empty
men who beat women using brute strength to cow into submission that which they did not have the courage to leave
honing frustration at their own weakness into a deadly skill
men who threaten women with violence and rip their children from them leaving behind years of sorrow and regret
wounds still left to heal
men who turn to their old mothers constantly using her as support even when she is old and gray and weakened
who had a rough time bringing him into this world
and still he adds to the burden by giving her his children
and still taking even when he is a grandfather many times over
weak men who will continue to be weak even when old and gray
cause he never had the strength to grow a backbone and get up off their arse and find a job
any job putting false pride aside cause there were children to clothe and feed
but sit cursing the system cause of course jobs grow on trees
and simply wishing one will come will do the trick!
weak men who leave responsibility to the women stupid enough to take them up for him
offering excuses out of guilt for how he was begotten and raised
or how he's loving when satiated with the body and food they provide
weak woman supporting weak man as he sucks her dry...will not stop until she dies
weak men
i met a weak man who looked trouble in the eye and walked away
while I weak woman myself looked on ....doing same
perpetuating the cycle of generations of weak black men and weak black woman
weakness.
Never again will i succumb to numbing fear that paralysis one from within
or allow a weak black man to transmit his weakness upon me
offering excuse for his weakness
daughters often marry their fathers
not me and be accursed the very thought of meeting a man whom cannot stand up to his responsibilities
look past his own history and carve out his destiny
but crawl sniveling to me to provide what he cant find within himself
I hate weak men and even worse I pity them.
