Men have become soft my friend

Men used to be strong and courageous

They would be leaders protectors and would provide for their families as they strove on purpose

I have not gone soft even though I am a poet

I am a deep thinker

I met a Jehovah’s Witness yesterday and we discussed the poetry of the Bible especially in the psalms

We also discussed why men turn soft and destroy themselves

It was an interesting discussion on the promenade next to the sea and in a way I felt nearer to God

In return I recommended a darling little coffee shop in town where one is also given a flavoured biscuit and an imperial mint as part of the package
