POETRY: Domestic violence is real
© Linette Rabsatt - Thursday, October 13th, 2011 at 1:23 PM
Domestic violence is real!
Do you know how it feels?
This is an appeal
for us to:
STOP THE HATE,
STOP THE RAPE,
Keep our hands to our side,
Keep our conscience as our guide,
Let’s cut the financial chokeholds,
Let’s cut the real strangleholds,
It’s time to stop our daughters from being sold,
It’s time to stop putting our children out in the cold,
because domestic violence is real!
Did you hear the me, the she, the he, the WE?
Did you understand how we feel?
It’s time to stop the violence,
It’s time to stop the nonsense and use common sense
cause this feels
too REAL
and the time is NOW – it’s time to heal
because Domestic Violence is REAL!
In commemoration of Domestic Violence Awareness Month
