Men are scum,

So the bitter voices claim,
Men are fools,
What more can I say?
Yet, within our lives, men reside.

Men are dangerous,
Yes, it’s true,
But so are all individuals,
That’s not exclusive to a few,
Venturing out at night can be perilous,
But let’s not forget to be humorous.

Men this, men that,
What about men being stingy?
Yes, some men can be,
But it’s not fair to generalize completely,
What about men being heartless?
Yes, some men may show indifference,
But there are also those who are kind,
It’s all about perspective, you’ll find.

You may find yourself entangled with men,
But why not create some distance then?
Men can actually be sweet and caring,
If you give them a chance, it’s worth sharing,
It’s not about keeping them at bay,
But finding balance in every way.
