IMHO~ Men, somewhere along the line have allowed women to turn into men, not in all respects,have you...and men are turning into women. Now, claim your head, households led, bring this back in prospective. Otherwise we will never know were any of us stand! Does anyone see this?

You can only know me by what I say, But only I am perceiving here... without asking...I ask... "What are you worth as men?" Yeah, yeah, yeah... Oh the tall, the dark and the handsome I heard you, but why are you still sitting?... "Don�t look at me that way!", then Expecting... To lay back in the will of His land! Get off that horse, your straddled on high... See Joseph�s coat lying there? O� unamiable one, Come on� getup!, Your time is up, and its about time Rise against a world of misgivings take it back and take it like a man! What do you live for, anyway Can you even smile anymore? Soak deeply in tenderness A mans soul starves all of us But...Be brave and gentle here then open the door there... Whett in appetite on refining buds alone Diminishing yourself, you especially one And run from this Beast while running, thinking nothing of it! Sign your name to a book or build your home, O' carpenter Your seed will be ready for planting, all in motion ? All the better... then bow your heads Raise your white flags of devotion! O� potter, he finishes glazing must he paint first? Once you are fired, you can�t then, come back! Be somebody, but do anything! Do you know who you are doing it for? Within your eyes see Humanity again only lifting it higher this time! Appreciate with words, the more and take control of yourselves, no less Carrying kindness atop of your heart, and Give, give forever, A rich man, a title, of superior culture... nothing gentle here, never! A question of Why?, to the father, should be answered, " Because I say so, so there!!" Stand as principles of matter once more and tell everyone your not for sale! Before existence sells out! Your fruits are waiting from the orchards of all ancestral men while the wildflower lay in the field So, Reclaim good, for it is... and Defile the bad and for God�s sake... Can you watch your tongue? For I am Women Rise above our whims! This is my last write to men... Maybe with His help, If your worthy enough, You can all put this world back together again! and everyone will be whole once more!

My dear Kimmy,

I've read a number of your postings and a number of your personal emails to me, and they all send the same message. And it's not the message this poem offers.

You are a mother many times over. The picture you post was taken by your son, Samuel. You are a woman. Samuel is a man. Together you are doing something.

And so it is in life: Not a man doing something or a woman doing something. We're not all David downing Goliath. We're not all Joan of Arc leading the charge. We're individual men and women making up the society of earth.

But we are not the owners of earth. It's a gift to us all from God. We all are but its caretakers.

And so the solution for "Taking care of business" is not a man or a woman but a man and a woman in concert pursuing God's plan for us.

In Revelations, the Apostle John shares the future with us. But the books of the New Testament give us directions. And common sense and experience tells us what to do: "When all else fails, read the directions!"

By this posting, Kimmy, you and your son are an Army-of-Two. There are more armies like yours out there. This may be your "Last Write to Men," but actions speak louder than words. Just do your thing, and God will do his.

In the meantime, don't fret, just enjoy God's day and take your buggy out for a swamp-ride. But take care, will you? You know how those doctor bills can pile up.

Love to you and yours,
Richard

Kimmy, if I read this right, you are asking men to just be men and not worry about all the trappings of what some think a man should be. Yes? No? Anyway, I liked the abstract quality of it.

Takes two to break up a marriage,and over 80 per cent of divorce cases are filed by women. Men be kind? With nearly 99.9% of firemen, mountain and sea rescue, mine rescue, storm rescue and of course as soldiers in combat, being male, I think their kindness is evident and also sacraficial, dont you think?
Ah, I don't want to get into this.
