DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Diminishing family values

Onerous life situations
Molesting mothers, children
Extinguishing family's happiness
Such sordid state
Threatening and disturbing
Immediate help needed
Compassion and kindness

Vile are culprits
Incarceration they deserve
Over aggressions committed
Lest they continue
Ensnaring innocent victims
Nefariously threatening them
Cursed be them
Every crime done

CHILD ABUSE

Close to almost death
He suffered bruises, pains
In parents' cruel hands
Leading to trauma forever
Destroying his self-worth

And his normal growth
Blighting his bright future
Until he becomes a
Social and family problem
Enslaved by lifetime fear

SPEAKING OUT

Speak thou my heart
Ponder upon thy feelings

Express in thine way

All thou mayest wish

Knowing it givest bliss

Incomprehensible and beyond compare

Nay, be brave enough

Gladly lovest thou him

Oh for a lifetime

Unceasing be thine happiness

Truly intoxicating and magical

I WANT TO LIVE

I believe in you

What you told me
Are true and encouraging
Now it's my promise
That I will survive

Till God calls me
Out there in heaven

Let me enjoy life
In the arms of
Very caring, loving family
Ever true, honest friends!
