Masculine Mentality


The streets stood on the backs of men
—whose regiment settles sour scores
who leave in their wake those wanting more.

And perched upon those marble tiles
between the sameness stretching aisles
no one has the gall to whisper—get out now.

The crowd becomes a stepping-stone
for men who wish they’d never grown,
now shadows running free around the town.

So do not dare stop and stare
there’s no more heat left in the flare
For, all the boys who left for war; stayed there.
