Mr. Normal
Hello Mr. Normal it's about time we had a chat
diversity seems to scare you out of your wits
nothing stays the same so try to deal with that
it's none of your concern if that "guy" has tits
The nature that you exalt says you adapt or die
yes there will be changes all across your nation
wanna play rough? you will lose and here's why
those freaks you abhor have a vivid imagination
Incidentally there's nothing normal about you
think you can camouflage yourself in the mass?
you despise the freak in you you know it's true
we're the lawnmower and your ass is the grass
You're going away wave bye now and be a dear
lets not make this any harder than it has to be
want to stay? okay then stop living life in fear
macho is good it's fine we love it don't you see?
We don't want to threaten your place in society
pervert you into something you don't want to do
just be yourself while allowing others to be free
don't worry that's really all we'll ever ask of you

The last stanza rounds this well written poem perfectly - excellent ink :-)

People will always feel threatened by 'men with tits' as you put it. But they are only showing themselves up to being weaker men as a result. There's an underconfidence that shows up that in some ways, threatens their masculinity when really it shouldn't. People should be allowed to express and live their lives without that kind of prejudice. As I say, people who mock are only showing themselves up. Nice message.

Yes indeed, the concept of masculinity is changing, the two dimensional men are on their way out and of course that's a difficult transition for many of them. i prefer reaching out and working with them, showing they will still essentially have a welcome place, assure them that all they have to do is relax a little bit and not worry so much. It's going to be alright. Thank you kindly for your thoughtful comment Purpleheart, much appreciated
