OLDER MAN
Poem by Chan Mongol
July 6 of 2022
She does or doesn't want to know that I love her;
I can't handle rejection and I am a coward to interfere.
I am in a difficult situation to configure;
To confuse me, she gave me her 20 years older picture.
Who is the hard headed here, her or me?
She should be fair and nicer with me but not so tricky!
Humble, polite and peaceful are precious;
Selfish, greedy, tricky are vixins and dangerous.
A woman can make you or can break you;
To make a family old morals we should preview.
What it's gonna be for an older man to live on;
An old doesn't need sex but needs a companion.
It's a matter who how got upbringing and tradition;
And what time of the day the person was born.
