poor him – a man who’s cried all his tears dry.
poor him – a man without a voice in this world.
poor him – a man who cannot toss money around to care for the one he loves.
poor him – a man who cannot steer the course of his own relationship.
poor him – a man whose voice carries no weight among colleagues.
poor him – a man whose muscles are slowly giving way.
poor him – and for the ideals of masculinity he was taught to chase.
oh poor him, poor the standards set by society — poor all of us, living beneath them.
