Poetry Beyond Words: Spitzer, Rooney -- A Few Bad Men?

they blame the law for letting these men in
saying we didn't do our research
before ushering them into their public roles

a man to be a leader of men
violating the trust of New York and his own wife

a man to be a guide for the children
violating the trust of our schools and an innocent child

it is not the law that let them in
it is the Land that breeds these men

this land where sex is cheap and everywhere
porn just one mouse click away
it heaves heavy upon us all

these men
you may say
are not bad
but just unlucky
they got caught

for the two of them
there are a million more
scuttling around
like naughty boys
sacrificing their lifeforce and manhood
for what?

boymen growing up on masturbation
learning to worship this obsession called sex
and losing their minds and morals

perhaps the truly courageous men
are not testing their manhood
through clandestine blowjobs in public restrooms

but rather are the ones turning from
unfulfillable
instant gratification

toward the wholeness of themselves
their women and the Land

Mature Male Thinking:
As teen age girls shopping becomes part of their souls and personality the age, work, bills place pressure on the income and it meets less of those shopping needs suddenly her interest turns to money and how to get it fast.
Now she sees an easy way to supplement her addiction is to attract men who have been turned into sex addicts by the media with the constant visual feed of tits and ass in advertizements.
It is his fault when their relationship is discovered and he pays a price while her popularity and rights to privacy increase.
Just like the marriages that are bombarded with pressures to buy and satisfy that Capitalist monster of consumerism the breakup is always near for this family when that spending habit is not feed constantly.
Capitalist love divorce then they have two households to sell products too. It is even better if there are kids because the sells are increase ten fold.
