What would you do for your family? What would you do for love?

Can you fight the whole world? What does it mean to be a man? What does it take to defend your people?

I was searching for the definition of “Man” and found this Quote in Wikipedia: In English man (pl. men) lower case refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent). Sometimes it is also used as an adjective to identify a set of male humans, regardless of age, as in phrases such as “men’s rights“.

Nowhere in the definition is mentioned what it take to be a man, is it just a physical (sexual) condition? a  behaviour? opposite to Woman? you can get caught in a loop here.

I am a Father, a Son and a husband. All I’ve done the last ten years is  fighting for nothing, I think all material things are nothing, we take none of our valuables with us when we die. We are not even something that last more than 80 – 90 or less decades. We spend the first third of our life getting ready to live and then spend the rest getting ready to avoid dying. What a nonsense!

Many authors have written about this, many books are sold around the world about life, death, happiness, sadness, love, hate, money, power and all the tail of the tape… but as soon as we have to face our own demons we become weak and powerless. We believe we are victims of fate or bad luck. We have to be Men / Women. As I learned the last few year, to Man up!

Hold tight to your boots, live fast and love your family, soon you won’t be remembered and someone else will be in your place.

 

 

 

The wait (killing Joke)

Motives changing, day to day
The fire increases, masks decay
I look at the river, white foam floats down
The body’s poisoned, gotta sit tight

The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait

After wakening, silence grows
The screams subside, distortion shows
Mutant thoughts, of bad mouthed news
It’s just another birth, of distorted views

The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait

The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait

Wots…uh the Deal?

Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
Cause I’m the man on the outside looking in

Waiting on the first step
Show where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it’s time

To let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
Cause there’s chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I’m growing old

Flash the readies
Wot’s…uh the deal?
Got to make to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel.

Mile after mile
Stone after stone
Turn to speak but you’re alone
Million mile from home you’re on your own

So let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
Cause there’s chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I’m growing old

Fire bright by candlelight
And her by my side
And if she prefers we will never stir again

Someone said the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I’m the man on the inside looking out

Hear me shout “Come on in,
What’s the news and where you been?”
Cause there’s no wind left in my soul
And I’ve grown old
