To Live as Men

A old Civil Rights image had a man with a sign bearing the proclamation: I AM A MAN. The image stirred something within me as I saw it again.

 

Call a man what he is

And see it in his eyes.

He stands tall.

He holds himself erect.

He is proud to be a man.

Call a man a boy

And you see the damage to his soul.

He shrinks in stature.

He stoops his posture.

His stance says it all.

We should call it as it is

And live thus and so.

We should live as men

With our backs held straight.

For we are not what they call us.

This shall not be so.

We are what God made us

And that we shall be.

So let it be with us

No matter what they say we are.
