How a Man Should Be

A man should always speak the Truth,
In suffering or solace his word must be the same,
Bearing in silence the weight others cannot,
He holds Nothing for himself, always forgiving.

A man must always act by the Truth,
Against both faces of Good and Evil,
Respecting his parents and their Witness and Will,
He lets go of Everything, but never forgetting.

A man who suffers with full understanding,
Knowing only his own Purpose beyond Power,
He respects a woman beyond she can measure,
By respecting himself and the Truth he lives by.

A man who stands the same against any travesty,
Never missing the Mark of Measure and Truth,
Bearing the weight of structures that ensure life,
Exacting Justice by Word and Action perfectly.

If one were to ask me How a Man Should Be,
I would say that He must not waste words like me,
Remembering an Ideal Man for all to see,
Sri Rama…

Is How a Man Should Be.
