Blessed Posted November 26, 2003 This poem is so cool.... I think its time for a positive post - since its eid and all You will recognise your brothers By the way they act and move Throughout the world There will be a strange force about them There will be unspoken answers in them This will be obvious not only to you but to many The confidence they have in themselves and in their people will be evident in their quite saneness The way they relate to women will be clean, complimentary, responsible with honesty and as partners The way they relate with children will be strong and soft, full of positive direction and as example The way they relate to men will be that of questioning our position in this world will be one of planning for movement and change will be one of working for their people will be one of gaining and maintaining trust within culture These men at first will seem strange and unusual but this will not be the case for long they will train others and the discipline they display will be a way of life for many they know that this is difficult But this is the life that they have chosen for themselves, for us, for life: they will be the examples they will be the answers they will be the first line builders they will be the creators they will be the first to give up the weakening pleasures they will be the first to share love resources and vision they will be the workers they will be the scholars they will be the providers they will be the historians they will be the coaches they will be the doctors lawyers, farmers, clergy and all that is needed for development and growth You will recognise these brothers and they will not betray you By… Haki R.

Liqaye Posted November 27, 2003 Caramel i saw the poem, and although i dont orient towards poetry as well as some people do, I would use this poem to support what i have been saying all along, namely what is attractive in a man is his individuality, commitment to his ideals, and is a result of his own personal journey towards self enlightenment. Women dont get that across with their checklist of traits a man must have, if they even understand that the ABOVE is what they want. And it was much more a topic for men than the women. Lastly i believe in all my MALE egoism, that i was not asking questions but answering them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
