Once There Were Men, But... On International Men's Day 2023

    Once there existed fathers

    Who were actually farmers

    Uneducated, yet in the know

    In fields of culture they grow

    Taught wisdom by life's strife

    Then further, each by his wife.

    For that's the true mark of a man.


    Each of them was responsible

    Bearing arms and the impossible

    Seeding, weeding, thereby feeding

    The breathing, even while bleeding

    Of virtue, of valor, of voyage. Maza!

    Who neither run nor fall facing Haza!

    Made of unique molds called Tradition.


    Fearless of seasons

    Men, made of reasons

    Head-on they'd storm storms

    Markamarka or Jaura in forms

    Their hearts never shake or shiver

    High on mountains, deep in a river

    Hurricanes, tornadoes, come have dinner.


    Men were allowed to be men

    Fire-fed by their stoking women

    Who soon desired to be like them

    Instead of raising and praising them

    No man of worth dare hits his woman

    Though the tougher half of most human

    Now, the flare's over, mankind's just a kind.
