Take It Like A Man Poem by Kevin Patrick

This is absolutely brilliant, Kevin. There is indeed a social dynamic that seeks to beat conformity into individual expression. Conform, we say, be a man. There is only one model. There is a man, and all else. If one is to be a man, the boy must be conditioned to accept that what does not destroy only serves to make one stronger. The repression - How much of Nietzsche's philosophy is part of daily life? This verse goes to myfavourites.

This is how the society wants each boy to behave! From childhood onward, he is trained to conceal his genuine emotions and put on a mask of bravery. The reiteration to take everything in his stride, makes him think that expressing soft feelings is unmanly! Thus he comes to believe that a rigid attitude is the right attitude! A poem with a deep psychological impact!

BUT BOYS will always be like boys playing with their toys okay ploys Thanks KV for your lovely comments worthy of millions AUTUMN AGAIN Autumn is the season of such blissful memories, this poem ignites my minds serenity! .

Well written. Good theme.
