A villanelle Just a Man

 It must be awful to be just a man
 to be forever trapped inside maleness,
 being a part of that unruly gang,

 Bony fists, ready, to be curled by hands
 having to wear the male badge on the chest,
 it must awful to be just a man.

To be ready to take a fighter's stance
to have no access to womanliness,
because he's part of a tough unruly gang,

 And I despair that any changes can
 be made out of this, warrior like mess,
 it must be awful to be just a man.

 Forever fearful, of being unmanned,
 but needing to be clutching at a breast,
 but still show, that he is part of the gang.

And here, I propose, a most cunning plan,
start young, teach boys, lots of womanliness
I commend men to your sane hands, woman,
it must be awful to be just a man.
