There's no way anyone can be a man without going through baby and boy,
making the trip may affect their joy.


Poem Artwork

Before man there was boy
before boy there was baby
being that young life effects
certainly weren't maybe
Don't be confused
boys and babies get abused
quite a few times a boy
can be used
thinking maybe he's going
to be amused

A baby finally reaches boy hood
either with a good or nasty mood
A boy finally reaches the
man category
either with a bad or good story
You can bet there won't be
much glory
Some boys get messed up
so bad
they'll be lucky to be happy
and not sad
There may be no man from glad

Some men walk around with
their heads down
When they finally raise them
they only flash a frown
The abuse that occurred during
baby and boy
actually takes away their joy
The only way out is to learn
to enjoy
There's nothing wrong with
having a good toy
even as a man and not a boy
