"A man and human"

Born into this chaotic beautiful globe,
we both fell short of advantage
but nature stole more from him
and tether him with the law like rope.
Who made these laws? We made these laws!
Forged out of zero empathy and rational expectations,
we mold him out as hard as the rock
Yet naive to embrace that rocks breaks from natural laws.
Your man-made laws that weary his shoulders,
They break his bones telling him to erect on his toes,
Burning up in the sun for the laws she(you) enforce
Yet like a wolf in the cold, he must usurp the process that shivers.
His heart bleeds red everyday,
compared to the red, she bleeds in a month
But how dare he, a god-like, nest nor complain?
Afterall he was built to soak up the pain!!
This is his cycle that no psychologist thrill to study.
He never begged to play the role of a God!!
The norm!! no one questions a God
Yet he answers to the hypocrisy of their analogy.
All these for the title "a man".
A lanced heart that's forbidden to cry,
Grieving with no shoulders for leaning but a query to smile.
Drowning without attention, everyone says he has a vast lung,
"He'll breathe and swim his way outta that lagoon, he must!!"
"He's a man" they say, yet he's stucked in a quicksand
His limbs tremor like that of a fawn
and like it's neck, it wobbles for the load he bares.
The title which the world dumped upon him
Cause if he fails, the world falls,
Not minding that he is human.
Even his woman forgets that he's both a man and human.
