Men
They are known by many faces
The come with more than just one name
Some have eyes adorned upon them
Some have fortune, some have fame
Many walk with pride and goodness
Others sneak in shadowed halls
Some may hear us when we whisper
While others never hear at all
There are those who have blood relation
And those that always try to play the part
Some that stand with strength and bravery
And yet others who just scar our heart
There are many who wear medals of honor
While some cower in puddles of shame
There are those who deserve tribute and glory
But far too many we'd rather not name!
