Boys in Distress

The fall behind boys
are growing in numbers
frustrated eunuchs
with purple cucumbers

Lacking in power
in fear of the shun
they take a shellacking
then reach for the gun

Incels with barbells
yell loudly on twitter
can’t find a female
frustrated and bitter

Cut from the same cloth
they whine and complain
like pigs at blame-trough
or moths to the flame

Conspiracy prone
they villainize Soros
Batmans and Robins
Green Hornets and Zorros

Glued to their iPhone
addicted to porn
scaling the hills
in the valley of scorn

Blue balls in brown shirts
they lace up their boots
tiki torch toddlers
give Nazi salutes

A lost generation
of men who are boys
fearful of women
afraid to make noise

We sit on the sideline
and watch it unfurl
struggling young men
afraid of the girl

How can we help them
these boys in distress
trapped in a world
of inadequateness
