In our many oriental societies <br />There is a belief that woman cries <br />Either to hush up the faults she makes <br />Or tries to win out of sympathy a heart of a man <br />Believe me I do not believe it at all <br /> <br />And I do not love to cry and the reason is not that <br /> I want to cover up my tender side <br />Nor want I to show that crying is girlish <br />And to face the challenge is heroic <br />Under pressure never to break down is manly and I am boy <br />Believe me I do not believe in doing blasphemy <br /> <br />But I never console a girl or let any one win my heart crying <br />It is not that my heart is stone hard and I am cruel <br />But I do a favor inspiring them to cry with content <br />As it would help them to come clean and start things anew <br />While I laugh and get the benefit of the words best medicine.<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hilarious-poem/
