Men
I see your face plain,
Clear and trimmed
But I can’t see
The beast inside you
I see you be kind and caring
But I can’t see
The killer attitude inside you
I think a thousand times,
If that’s you I see
But I can’t think
What you are up to
I see no tales
That tells we’re apart
Yet, I see a sea
With a drowning boat so far
