The Monster She Fears

She lives in a single dimensional world But watches 3D in the theater She decides that she will protect herself The next time he tries to beat her He feels inadequate in the outside world Emasculated by the masses So to help him feel more like a man He beats her every time she passes Her mother had left them long ago His wife had had enough Physically and mentally abusing his child Makes him feel real tough He didn't like the way she dressed that night And was going to hit her with his belt The handgun she had hid in her purse Would change the hand that she was dealt The orange jump suit that she now wears And will for twenty years Is worth the price that she has to pay For putting an end to the monster she fears
