Roles Of Man
Man
Such a small, three letter word
Carrying the weight of the world
On his shoulders
Or on his back
Responsibilities; he never lacks
Like a sack of potatoes
That he frequently curls
Sire of baby boys & baby girls
Definition?
Subjective
Elective
In modern day
Toxic masculinity
Some would say
Opinions sway
Cisgender
Pretender
Straight
Or
Gay
Husband
Protector
Mentor
Roles he may play?
There's an array
So how does one convey the role of a man?
He may walk with or carry you through the sand
Is he the one who commands during a time of war?
Or
Could he also be the deserter exiting out the backdoor?

All of the above
Sometimes Angel, other times, Demon
The Lion who drives away hyenas from the Lion cub is seen differently by the lion cub and the hyena
