What am I good for?

That’s a great question

I’ve been asked before 

With a little concession.

–

Why am I so sensitive?

My ex-wife of asked 

As if it was preventative

“Be a man” I was tasked.

–

But what if I was every bit a man?

As a less sensitive contemporary

That’d violate all your plans 

As you made me feel less exemplary.

–

What if I knew all they did?

In passion and love as well

But you never accepted my bid

Preferring to treat me like hell.

–

Do nice guys finish last? 

The truth is we pretty much do

Until the world wakes up fast

Excepting our point of view.

–

Are we to be counted out? 

Absolutely not 

As our loyalty is devout

Only then not an afterthought…
