He is cool
And brave
Respectful
and respected
Men follow
Women swoon
Bright words from
His tongue bloom
Visionary thoughts
Mould the world
Strong and graceful
Effortless with grace
Steadfast, trustworthy
True, through and through
Yet
Where is he?
Not on our screens
Not in our books
Not anywhere that
The lost boy looks
There is a void
for our boys
So they fill it
