Poem "Many a Man"

 

Many a Man

By Richard H. Fay

Many a man 
Objectifies women. 
Many a man 
Thinks with his penis. 
Many a man 
Can't keep his pants on.
Many a man
Is a sex-crazed maniac.

Many a man 
Acts the selfish pig.
Many a man
Plays boss of the house.
Many a man
Blusters and bullies,
Many a man
Is an overgrown child.

Many a man
Fails at fatherhood.
Many a man
Loves ‘em and leaves ‘em.
Many a man
Casts his kids aside.
Many a man 
Is an awful parent.

Many a man
Has rocks for brains.
Many a man
Builds muscles, not smarts.
Many a man
Neglects his intellect.
Many a man
Is an uniformed fool.

Many a man
Ignores his emotions.
Many a man
Believes caring a weakness
Many a man
Expresses only anger
Many a man
Is an unempathetic lout.

The atypical man,
The man who deviates
From the manosphere’s path
Of emotional illiteracy, 
The male maverick
Who bucks the trend
Of toxic masculinity
Is a rara avis indeed.
