I CHOOSE THE MAN
and perhaps, this is the point.
I choose the man
I choose the man, because every time I
do not, I harm my father
I choose the man, because every time I
do not, I harm my brothers
I choose the man, because every time I
do not, I harm my sons
I choose the man, because every time I
do not, I harm myself
I fracture something inside me because I also contain him. My seed was planted in his world, because of him. When I deny this truth, I create further division in this world.

The message is a very serious one Cath. Not all men are created equal, so choose wisely. Another lovely poem. Well done.
This was so poignant and profound. Loved your poem!
