Poetry about the men we need.
Here’s to him
who stands up for fellow humans
irrespective of the labels society graciously provides
Here’s to him
who shows his strength through kindness and empathy
even when expected otherwise
Here’s to him
who is intelligent and has a wonderful sense of humour
without berating or un-dignifying others
Here’s to him
who is truly gentle and knows how to treat women well
and not just his wife, sister, daughter or mother
Here’s to him
who loves wholeheartedly
without reserve or shame
Here’s to him
who owns himself, his virtues, his faults
and doesn’t put ‘male ego’ to the blame
Here’s to him
who shares his beliefs
doing his bit to save humankind from ruin
Here’s to the ‘man’
who truly believes that above all else
it’s most important to be human.
