Must I Always

Must you always see my front

so that my backside doesn’t confuse you?

Must my hair be kept out of my face

for you to see how I bang?

Must I always kneel and pray alone

So you can’t see my head bob toward the throne?

Must I always add base to my chords

before a childish frightful scream

or beat my chest and break boards

adding delight to your dream?

Must you always shame yourself

by begging me to drop trough?

Maybe I should place my heart on a shelf

like only you know how

Must I always populate the entire nation

only to fail to support that cause?

Or should I start a new station

to be governed by my own laws?

Must I always listen to your garbage verbal

just because you feel like trash?

Or should I become a maniacal gerbil

and break into and steal your stash?

Must I finally write you a note to remind you

that I’d rather play than watch?

Sports are my specialty true

Something you’re sure to botch

Must I allow you to touch me

just to see who grows first and the best?

Maybe it could be during a movie

when it’s your head that needs to rest

Must I always end your thought of us sword fighting

as if you could measure up?

Maybe in some different lighting

no one could see what’s up

Must I have the same problems or issues

that direly do consume you?

Maybe I should get out the tissues

and help you find a clue

Must I display my trophies

just to prove my self-worth?

Or wine and dine Dianes and Sophies

And leave them before they go into birth

Must I batter my domestic better half

just to prove my girth?

And then disassemble my workplace staff

by removing them from this earth?

Must I always live as a slovenly person

and watch life roll by from a couch?

Must I always crumble up my cash like Thurston

and or wear a belly-cover pouch?

Must I always tote a pistol

to prove I am ready and packing?

Must I always watch porn on a laptop missile

to avoid anyone from hacking?

Must I forever show you my hand

to make you understand

that across this great land

I have been and always will be a man?
