Real Man

By allenthepope

what if you had that big house upon that hill
what if you did do all the right things and meet all the right people and still had more…
like..the cars to go to the bars and find fancy people with fancy clothes, fine shoes to rub in your face from the place that you’re not allowed to touch or smell…
what if..? you created your own hell and cast a spell on yourself
to live and breath money and stuff but forgot what it meant to really love..really really love..love somebody
because the cash and the diamonds and the trips around the world can’t touch the heart and soul of a girl in love, unless the one in love, loves the money and not their honey and then nothing is sweet..but bitter when it hit her
that with a man she could get more money…but money can’t buy a real man!!

    Money can't buy anything, but the necessities of life. If money could buy a real man, more men would be gay. :)ily

    Believe me there are "real men" out there you just have to wade through the muddy waters to find him...and beware of men like this...I was married to one. Loved the message here.

    I could almost photocopy this and hand it out, down the streets, in the mall, at the corner convenience store... LOL!

    FYI now that i'm feeling more motivated : "you created your own hell and cast a spell on yourself to live and breath money and stuff but forgot what it meant to really love.." loved that. Its a theme that pervades alot of my own stuff.

    Dig the poem, but real men don't exist. I'm quite certain of that.
