The triggers a mans view

Come my child
Lets walk down this street.
Leave behind , your swagger
This handicap , of motion
And, affliction  of need

We will just talk ?
You and me
I am your soul , that  man you wanted to be

Question
What triggers your judgments
Without justification or the
Befit  of doubt ?
What triggers a complement
Beyond judgment
A single kind thought .

What triggers you to say
Look at this man
That dozen’t , know his name
With his gym shoes
His cars
All the brand names

His swagger
Pride for a dollar
without shame

His confident
Assured , by the money he can make

With madness
Without  justification
Without consideration
Another , band name he will chase
Intoxicated by the dimensions of only her shape

Dam she is fine 

Why do men do this time after time
Like a score , or a trophy
A bragging right
To conquer another lonely life

But what about his kids or his wife
What about the love , that his name has singed
Or girlfriend   ,in days of loneliness  they swore  to find
These are the brand names that
No longer shine

Very Good

This is the first I have read of your writings but they are wonderful. The flow is perfect was very easy to read I think the theme is great was easy to relate to I actually could pick a few people who this could be about or even a few situations that this could define. I am not that versed to be able to critique the proper use of language but for me your simple everyday reader I enjoyed it. SweetSpirit
