Poem by Valtimore B. Fenis
We are gathered and get along together
We listened and shared
May not from one background
But we stood in the same ground
Men who have the passion
To gender balanced condition
The idea of love and care
To humanity and our women dear
Brave to stand before our nations
Carry out just peace and equality
Believed that each being has a power to share
To free one and all
Gender, class and national oppressions
We suffered, sympathized and empathized as well
We are victims of all structures
Manipulated and repressed us many forms
Real men have the courage to listen
Real men never undermine others
Real men cry and not ashamed of it
Real men stands connected
Real men, inside and out
Don’t harm for sure
Instead, wide and objective
Broad, humanist and allies
