The man I want to be and will be

The man I want to be

Well! Here I am telling out to the world the secrets of my brothers and of mine once again, I am probably sounding just like a broken record. And I bet this is the sort of thing that goes on and has been going on for a long time, so the thing is, what is new? And why listen? Well I think I have got a different twist to this or at least I think I do. Well I can remember in the past that I never intended to be considered one of woman’s greatest disappointments and so would like say now for the record to all women young and old that I am so sorry. I can speak for most men that we were boys ones and we did not all intend to hurt you nor did our mothers hate their own kind as to teach us to become Dogs as we are referred to as sometimes. Well I say that with a smile because I have heard that we have some really great names for the woman who are not generally liked by men. I do think that they do the good ones a disservice, and I would like to stop the recycling of that karma, I have a mother and I love her and I have daughters too so if I hold a candle to my own and I best be holding a candle to all women. There are men out there who hold themselves accountable for the words they speak and speak well over all women and lift our sisters up, and give them the right to be free from the ugliness of this world. I too believe that it should be something that we all do to each other, and give it back to their brother and even their sisters. I wrote a poem that was a worthy plea for the great opportunity to set not only me free but also set my boys free. If you want to see good men from the pile of men that are here then be positive, speak the truth at all times and be Godly there is something good in that.

I want all to know that I may not have all the answers, but it is not for the lack of not trying but it may be because we had a slow start and may need some time some encouragement to get this thing right. So what do you say friends ladies? And co-partners in this game called life? You can’t loose the worst thing that could happen is, you help your daughters build a new kind of man and they have something good to choose from. But I have something in the next blog to give you ladies I think you will like that. So please enjoy the next few words of the poem, it is called “To Be”.


To be

I am just a man who wants to be
I am only human can’t you see?
My aim is to be totally free
But there are thoughts I must dissuade.

Tell me how to fight the vultures?
That is so embedded in our cultures
Give me “The Book” and teach me right
And lift me up in spite

Look down deep into the Bible’s core
God’s first plan is for man to soar
And we all are what God is about
To help us up not to count us out

I make no excuse for things I did
I repent to God and He forgave
So help me now is my plea
Our men are suffering just to be
