A Poem to Proud Men.

Be proud and confident

Be content but humble before the crowd

Never frown on those with less

Not all men have what you have

Just because you have a beautiful wife,

Just because you have a big car

Just because you have a big bank account

Just because you have high academic qualifications

The sum total of you is measured by much much more

It is your true character that wins true respect

Be clever and work hard

Be a source of inspiration and help

Be not arrogant and stomp on others

The macho man is a man who is blind to one thing

It is something he cannot see but it is there

It is his downfall that he can't see

That insidious pitfall that will be his undoing

You never know what is waiting for you around the corners of life

Life is too short to be smug

Disaster can befall you at some unknown moment

Not all of us have what you have

Should you be a macho arrogant asshole

Wait, they will gloat when you fall

Another man will take your beautiful wife

The bank will take your house and car

Your academic qualifications will be worthless

Penniless, you will be the worst off

A laughing stock even for those who had less

They will jeer at you, saying they have now got more than what you have now

Never beat a woman

You were born from a woman

Not all men had the chance to make something of their lives

Some were born into poverty

Some made mistakes when they were young

Many were punished too severely for their mistakes

Many were denied opportunities to become better

The tears of the unfortunate men

Their tears are worth more than your sweat
