Observations of a boy

By V.L.K. DJOKOTO

A man’s tears should never flood the earth,
a man should fear himself more than death.
A man only lies to his mind,
the cerebral repercussions always follow suit in time.

A man must overcome lust,
a man must separate himself from his past,
but not detach himself nonetheless.

A man must protect his family first,
a man must honour his path,
a man must know when to end,
and how to start.

A man must know when to defend,
and how to attack.
A man must master his art,
a man must perfect his craft.

A man must overthrow corruption,
a man must persevere through exhaustion.
A man must believe in a God above him,
a man must uphold truth over any schism.
