The REAL MAN by louis gander Some think that they are very tough. They know a thing or two. They draw attention from afar so others know them too. Some think that they are very tough with muscles bulging out, they flex for their own sole desires so they won't go without. Some think that they are very tough. They think that they're so smart. Enslaved to things they cannot keep, raw anger rules their heart. Some day they will sit alone - to think about their clout. The first is last, the last is first - that's what it's all about: --- Through the cries of hate and lies from others that are hurled, A REAL MAN takes up his cross - the hope above this world. Some will get so angry when - a REAL MAN loves truth. A REAL MAN loves children - their innocence and youth. While others aren't responsible, a REAL MAN won't hide. A REAL MANS humility - overcomes all pride. When others start to steal a REAL MANs own shirt, A REAL MAN will turn away. A REAL MAN must hurt. A REAL MAN won't start the fight. A REAL MAN's not weak. A REAL MAN must feel the whip - then turn the other cheek. When others tear, gouge his flesh - a REAL MAN won't sway. REAL MEN love enemies, and REAL MEN will pray. A REAL MAN can bear the nails. A REAL MAN can cry. A REAL MAN will bear his cross. A REAL MAN might die. But God forgives the REAL MAN despite all he's denied, so they can't kill THE REAL MAN - the REAL MAN inside. |
