The men of today

The Men of Today
The men who grow their beards upside down
The men who watch the paint dry in their spare time
The men who hatch their egos whilst on gardening leave
The men who were born by mistake
The men who like to show their tattoos
In freezing sub-zero conditions
The men who fart in a lift full of women and their kids
And skip on a rogue shard
The men with grey and receding hair
Everyday they get revenge on their poor scalps
The medallion men with hairy chest
Hiding behind mascara masks
Powder their noses and flash their pearly white smiles
The Tarzans without Jane and Cheetahs
All muscles and no brain
The men who play away
And spend the nights on the tiles
And waiting for a star to drop from the skies
What about those macho men who lick their wounds
And cry like babies in wet nappies
The men who pick their nostrils
Whilst driving their motors
Carry under their arm a pool of damp patches
Those are the men of today
They are like prisoners in need of an escape
From their mundane and meaningless dreams
Their vanity is a selfie reflected by a broken mirror…
Ben Younes Majen ( London 2013)
