Hold your head up:



Hold your head up:

Its raining its pouring
The girls have gone out whoring
The men are stuck at home with the kids
Tied to the sink cleaning saucepan lids
Wash and drying the floor so that no one skids
Then to bed to get up for work in the morning.

During the day when he’s thinking
Of his life and how much it is stinking
“ It’s okay for them
They don’t live in shame,
At the door people throws things like eggs and phlegm”,
Its no wonder that he turns to drinking!

    Since im not a man, I geuss I can't understand what your really going through, but i thought this was a good write, and i know that i can not truly understand what you mean since i am not you, but im sure that there are many other people out there that feel the same way as you do, and not just men either, you have to realize that a lot of women, are responsible for living the way i think you feel you are loiving now, well i thought it was a good poem, great work, keep writing,
