Alphas

Men, with no authority over anyone else,

Kicking their dog, reprimanding their dog,

A little toy breed that is

Unable to afford a gun license,

But is fully able,

To validate its master.

Simply by being small.

Men, yelling at their wives,

Teaching their boys not to cry,

Teaching their girls that their future husband

Needs to be their king (not by words: by action)

Sitting down

Pot-bellied after mowing the grass

Drinking a beer and watching the game.

He will hit mom tonight.

The world told them, 'Make your kingdom!'

But they have no kingdom.

They work jobs that do not lionize them.

The bosses they listen to get younger

And younger.

The world told them in a whisper,

'You alone are qualified!'

But what has this wrought?

No promotion.

Kid is a fag.

Talk radio.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer.

Men: but on the inside, boys.

And they were beautiful once,

But those days are gone.
