CURTAINS OF MEN

Tears flood
Flood hearts of earth sustainers
Making their breathing herculian
As most men hide behind the curtains of feminism
Shedding clothes of responsibility
Any cry for help
And the curtains’ waves slap
With hot irons of “women can do better”
Feminine mouths in confidence
Are dubbed chants of witchcraft
Like a war of ego
All training burdens
All financial burdens
All caring burdens
Have been dumped like trash on those deemed
“Woe of men”
When all they want is to be
“Warriors for men”
There will come a day
When all they will be
Are sticks cut to scratch itches
And thrown out to be stepped on
Behind their curtains
All we will hear
Are their screams
Their faces masked by their curtains
As the kick their legs
On their dumpsters behind their curtains
