A Modern Man Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

I am confused at what I should be.
Amn on theradio,
hd said that men were confused.
I laughed out loud.
The newscaster has explained.
That fathers were under pressure.
And their hair,
was falling out with worry.
To emulate a footballer with a squeaky voice.
Good looking, talented and earning lots of bucks.

Is your kid looking for you to be anyone else but their Dad.
Just got to be a man.
Just do the best that you can.
Your child will love you for being Dad,

When you get older, the answers you were looking for.
Man, they were staring you in the face,
Man that is what you are.
Father, fighter, Husband and clown.
I don't think it's good for anyone to follow an idol.
But haveing lots of money certainly does help.

Remember the things you had as a child when it was simple.
Just be happy and everything will follow suit.
Remain level headed.
All work out well.
Modern men just need to rememeber that the world is complcated.
Just got to juggle things as best as you can.
Modern man.
Better to be good at what you know.
In the mirror, your reflection will show.
You - that's who you are.
