Good Men

A lot of good men Who never lied or cheated or wanted to sin, Have lost many good years Followed by hurt and pain and many tears. Men who went to church and did always pray And who worked hard at their job everyday, Who always payed their bills on time And who never broke the law or committed a crime. They never smoked or took pills or drank And they always donated blood at the blood bank, They sought and wanted to share a good or better life When joined with a girlfriend or wife. A man who always wore a smile Whether walking a few steps or even a mile, And who never saw or felt any danger Whenever he met anyone, even a stranger. He never hated or ever held a grudge Now others want to accuse and to also judge, All now because of his new situation In which he is part of the creation. Now he is full of sadness and negative energy Which all of his true friends and family knows and does see, And now he is manipulated and controlled Of his own mind and soul he's lost hold. Whenever a woman wounds a good man He will never be the same as he began, The pain changes him into a person who no longer trusts All that is was and cared about now rusts. Now he is lost His happiness and joy and peace was the cost, These men lost everything that they did wanted and imagined By staying loyal to a toxic woman. Randy L. McClave
