Malevolent Circle

Malevolent Circle

By: Tyler Ross

We try to call the shots, but it’s no use. We are the men who suffer the abuse. Attentive to the bone, we have the tools. We are the construction that builds and breaks all the rules. It’s okay you can say we’re the best, but do you truly mean it? I guess you haven’t been paying attention. A true man plays no games, I’d like to mention. So you can sit there for life with your hands in your face. Never learn a thing. What a waste. Watch the tears fall down. You can’t come clean. It sucks being a good dude in a world of women, who haven’t learned a thing. Persistence, you know the word fine. Serenity and care, we wait like gentlemen in line. We try to call the shots, but still no use. Thanks to the men in your lives who fuck you with fear and abuse. How long must this linger? Don’t say it will improve. There has been no proof, so I hold out a middle finger. Fuck it all. Get burned. Can’t learn. Hard to call the shots. Get told we’re the best, when clearly I can see that we’re not.
