MAN ENOUGH By Tom Jensen
Everyone could tell
by the bloodied look on his face
There are some unwritten rules
set aside and applied to the disgraced
So when a vigilante
from the crowd appears
and takes you for a ride
Be forewarned what’s not allowed
That silencing fear you hear
is that dead men don’t lie
It seems I didn’t even have to make
a character statement in the case
I just said one thing: “I did it…
for the betterment of the human race!”
For the cops, the prisoners
the mob and the jury
They already know
just how much
My love for a woman
has hurt me
And before she’s backed into a corner
He’ll be the one that gets knocked down
If it was a choice I had to make
I know I’d do the same again
I’m man enough to stand my ground
I’d never call it a mistake
I’m man enough to
Hop in my truck
Sure, I know when to drive away
I’m man enough to
Kick the sh*t outta him
For slapping her in the face…
