LITTLE MAN OF FEAR

It is so weird how words just pop into your head when you’re a
poet and you have no idea why…..I think it’s because there are
some men who just keep trying to put women down for some sort
of sick thrill and excitement.

I don’t mean this as an insult to all men…I LOVE MEN…

LITTLE MAN OF FEAR belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Out Emotion, Bits and Pieces , Core [C.O.R.E], End Times, Everyday Women, Freedom In Words & Art, LEFT WING VALUES AND POSITIVE GLOBAL AWARENESS, Light In The Darkness, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, Multiracial Beauty, Shameless Self-Promotion, The Healing Journey, The L Word, THE SISTERHOOD, Up & Coming Writers, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom!, Who are YOU to Judge?, WMG and Woman Appreciation

oh, little man of fear
afraid women will castrate you
just be very careful
of what you say and do
it seems to me
that often you are foolish
your art is grotesque
and often very ghoulish

women want to be revered
and loved for themselves
not made fun of
and put on a shelf
but you won’t learn
you’re way too small
perhaps that’s your problem
you have no image at all

there are fine ladies
dressed in gorgeous clothes
holding out their hand
looking for a rose
but all you have
are stems with thorns
what is your problem
do you regret being born?

    Wow this is pointed…..clearly needed to be said. You’ve said it perfectly….I suspect there are some out there that want others to think they did not want to be born…

    The woe is me type.

    Excellent work. It must be a sad existence to be a man fearing loss of one’s manhood.

    Nicely put of men who ridicule women and think they are above them. And as you said not all men are like that. There are a lot of “gentlemen” out there. Iris
