Not a Man

You may be a good looking actor
But that never makes you superior,
And you may be full of fame
But your values are a shame.

The words you say in jest
Make you look good at best.
But they only reveal hot air
Although you may look debonair.

Your words make our race cheap,
And for poor people, they sink deep.
But you know, they reveal who you are
Half a man inside, not a star.

Women are not your commodity
Whatever their nationality
If you intend to further your line
Why not let your sanity define?

If you want to be a father
To children of several mothers
I believe you're not a man
For your instincts are not human.

The value of a man, Baldwin-
Is what is in his heart,
What truths show in his life
And what wisdom he can impart.


Do you have the right values to be a father?

"...your words make our race cheap..." nothing more harsh could be said to a man, not a slap on his face, not a snort of contempt can go so deep into the two faces viper, scorned womans have a two edge vocal daggers.

Cynthia I love your writings and your boldness, a man is not a man just because he happens to be a male, a real man steps up to the plate

Cynthia,
I'm not aware of the details of the context but I can say the writing is strong and direct.
