Paradox: A Man

Hmm.... I've decided to give this writing thing a try. I will begin a series called Paradox:, so here we go.

A paradox, something contradictory or seemingly impossible.

A man, one of male gender, a masculine figure. Is that all a man is today? I once believed that a man was responsible and not only strong in the body but also in the mind. By the standards of today's society a man is someone who either has money, popularity, or sex...... yet that is exactly the opposite of what a man is. A man is a strong being, crafted so that he may help even the most delicate of creatures in the toughest of times. Since when was a so called man able to get away with calling a beautiful creation such as a woman a, and excuse my language, a bitch? When a man was called to help her, when was he called to take advantage of her. When was a man allowed to take virtue after virtue, while all the while never giving his? Tell me when a man was able to step on anything in his way, be it anyone who cherished him or anything of value. Since when does a man out himself before others? Since when has a man become a boy?

Where are the true men in today's world. They make their stands, never having enough to get through to the boys. The boys ignore them in their ignorance, and pay attention only when struck at. "An eye for an eye, and soon the world is blind." Yet we allow this to continue, men of this world, bring forth your arms. Don't hold back, now is the time to come out of hiding and claim the word of man once again.
