The Poetry of M - 16. Men Are Made Of Broken Boys (Jimmy McVee's Lament)
Men are made of broken boys
Who have gone and lost their toys
Who have gone and taken dear
The things that cause only fear
Here broken boys become hurting men
Who break their hearts again and again
Who once played at death games while alive
But now play at death's game to survive
It is easy to tell man from boy
It's in the eyes, a level of joy
Bright eyes light in a boy unbroken
They fade away in the man forsaken
Sad the lost boyhood is in memories
As is the joy taken in manhood's vaguries
Forgotten child's dreams lost in frightened cares
Found again only when the loved heart repairs
