Male Pain

Pain in my left heart

A wound opened once more

Were I to uncover it

The pain may only grow

But as is, it festers

Like a cancer, it throbs

Men require connection

And a patient - a surgeon

No man is an island

And no patient can fix himself

But of men, I ask

Does a phallus mean

He can stand only on his own

Some say a phallus

Is what men are

But to this I say

Only one of these truly stand on its own

Should society understand

Would they accept it?

I did hear once

Men without to whom to turn

Are ubiquitous today

How long can they persist?

How long can they survive like this?

I wonder if those men

Will be here tomorrow
