Bold barking dogs Filling an empty space Black pearls & heroes Imagine lean-to people Sailing fan lists Here and there Of the vulnerable & untried My own bloody pirates Marauders, blowing holes in the ship While puffing their horns Of experience…. Big dumb sharks Believing, they’re white knights Of some savior’s weekend Dancing like Harricrishnas Knights in black satin Playing the love machine Owning little bubbles In a tidal wave scene Until they tire Seeking a new buffet Practicing their riches In Emergency rooms Justifying their bad habits When yours begin to show Manipulating situations Like some born again hero To the vulnerable child In a woman’s body I wander within the words “He without sin cast the first stone” How anyone can feed a flame Without first, loving themselves Lost between sheets They’re place in the world Feeding the male ego Reeling in every female Like Canadian mounted police Each believing they’ve somehow done their best Saving the poor damsel, in distress |

WOW! This one hits all the markers. Lee, I'm saving this, to read again later, it has such vivid imagery and you punch each line out with such emotion and conviction. |

Many thanks for your replies....it's always an education and perspective whilst sharing thoughts with others, although this poem displays the lack of confidence in men, a need to feed their egos at all costs, there are females out there with alike personalities. I believe honesty, care for the hearts of others and old fashioned consideration & respect for others is becoming a lost culture? |
