This poem is clearly about how to be a man. Rudyard Kipling gives details to express what he's trying to say. This poem is clearly inspirational and motivates people to become someone spectacular. The first stanza is about what should be done and what not to be done. It basically tells you how to improve yourself and not to give in to the wicked, and the evil. The second and third stanza is about not giving up even if you desire to. You should strive to the very end and never look back. Accomplish whatever you want to accomplish, because you can do anything as long as you put your mind into it and focus. The last stanza is about making the most out of life and being true to yourself. Because at the end no one will look at anything but what you've accomplish. People these days only cares about getting a good job, getting lots of money, and having a nice house to support their family. No one gives a damn about your struggles, or even your pain. They only care about how successful you're, and MONEY. The same thing goes with the poem. They only care if you're a man, not a boy. Being a man is the most essential thing in life. People look at you with respect and treat you like a grown-up. Everything in life is better if you're a man. You can experience so many things in life. You just have to work your ass off in order to become one. Triumph over obstacles and race to the very end. That's what men do. They chase after their dream with strength and determination. Being a man is what makes them who they're. In conclusion this poem is really inspirational. I feel like the poem is speaking right through me, and tells me to chase after my dream no matter what the obstacles are. This tells people how to be a man. How to be a man with courage and strength.
