Is it manly ?

In our country where patriarchy exists predominantly,

a man feels proud to be recognised as manly.

He enjoys the privilege of this system

but has to shoulder the burdens of this custom.

A lot, to fit in the norms, he has to try.

The first rule's a curse that men can't cry.

A man in all circumstances has to be strong.

Only then to him can manliness belong.

All these rules no man should ever ape.

To be a real man means to never allow rape.

To be a real man means you shouldn't molest.

Your wife should never all all be suppressed.

True men can always express what they feel.

They will accept that it takes time to heal.

A man can also experience fear.

They need not to these old social norms adhere.

Real men need not keep their feelings within .

They too can express. They're too human.
