As a Man

By

As a man
You have to remain awake
For others to be asleep
As a man
You have to go hungry
For some to be able to eat
As a man
You have to answer trouble-maker
If you condemn evil around
As a man
You must be ready
To reason with your head not your penis
As a man
You must be ready to be nailed to a cross
As a man
You have to die for others to live.
