Hope

Someone once told me that men are stupid
Idiots and fools
And I believe that to be true.

They fall over and over
Still, they hope blindly to find another

Maybe that is why there is always a woman behind them
To keep them from their stupidity
To stop them from their foolish impulses

Where it to be a mother, a sister, a lover or a friend
They bond fully with each other
like wolves in a pack;

With respect and with power
With brotherhood and love

They bond in a way that only those with that bond can understand
This bond keeps them alive in ways that only they understand

It keeps them thinking, planning for the future
It keeps them dreaming, hoping for a future
It keeps them in the moment, reminding them to be alive.
