A complaint by many women is a good man is hard to find <br />That many men are selfish and to the needs of women blind <br />And that some men physically abuse their women so happens to be true <br />But give the good man credit if credit he is due. <br /> <br />For the crimes men commit against women allow me to feel shame <br />But for the sins of a minority a whole gender why blame <br />That one person does not make a Race or Nation also applies to men <br />One should not be found guilty if not guilty of a sin. <br /> <br />Some women abused by one man condemn all men as bad <br />But they are generalizing and that seems a bit sad <br />And though my sympathy is with abused women 'tis not prudent or not wise <br />To dislike all men for the crimes of one it does seem wrong to generalize. <br /> <br />I suppose there is some truth in that good men are hard to find <br />But not all men are cruel to women or aggressively inclined <br />To cause harm to others some men are good and kind <br />And kindness shown by good men readily come to mind.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-man-is-hard-to-find/
