Theoretical perspective of toxic masculinity as seen through the eyes of an empathetic human - perhaps!

WEEDS.
When acceptance has withered
And the weeds grow thick around the stem
They take all the food, all the sun, all the rain
They dry the flowers to hasten the end
Like pirates boarding the ship to plunder
Sails dropped and mast cut, obey or die
Choice removed as survival is a singular option
To fight, to yield, the world retracts
Wisdom allows this fate to be seen
Before it has become the only course
Seeds released to give future hope
To accept the truth yet still go on.
This is why a man will stay
Not to fight or change
To see the potential in the future with never ending hope
An evolutionary gift of selfless reason
