Where does the young man go?
In a society that hates men
Or a culture that provides no guidance
When no masculine outlet exists
Sexualized images seduce
A woman becomes that everything
Exacerbating the problem
Two young people meet
Not knowing themselves
Not grown themselves
Replacing community with each other
Putting the weight of the world on each other
Prematurely leaving the family unit
Prematurely finding a new tribe
Neither can fill such large shoes
Neither can be the answer
Combustion ensues
Can we not build foundations of values?
A platform of purpose?
