Olaosun Oluwapelumi
Men Deserve Flowers Too

2023

About the Item

Men have feelings and emotions. They need empathy and engagement. But we tell them, ‘Don’t be needy’ or ‘Don’t cry.’ We are pitting a male's neurobiology and human need for relationships against a culture that says boys should never show vulnerability. Men deserve flowers too, you see, Not just the fairer sex, as society decrees. For men have hearts that bleed and love so true, And their souls crave beauty, just like yours do. Their eyes light up at the sight of blooms, As if the colors danced in tuneful croons. The scent of roses fills their senses bright, And they feel alive, beneath the sun's sweet light. So let us not forget, in our haste to praise, The gentle grace of femininity's ways. For men, though strong and brave, can also bask, In the delicate charms of floral grace. Let us adorn them with bouquets of pride, And celebrate their worth, side by side. For all humanity, regardless of gender, Deserves to bask in beauty's radiant splendor.
