cowards

We men say
We do not cry because we are strong
Defect on the man
While committed to cry
That women are weak
And tears of the weak but
This nonsense is nonsense.

We do not cry because we do not dare
We do not have the courage as
When women
The courage to cry, but we are cowards

That was a nice poem of confession.
well done. Keep up the good work. We, men, have a lot to learn from women, no doubt.

Hi, ibram,
Fortunate to know both men and women who cry (and laugh!), I tend to think of it as a matter of trust rather than courage. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking write.
