Domestic Abuse
What gives so called parents certain rights,
A child is a gift from God not something you fight.
I’ve heard the excuse when I get drunk I just loose control,
I say to you if you take your anger out on a child you have no soul.
A child has to have discipline I’ll be the first to agree.
I’ll admit I’ve placed my child across my knee.
But I had enough sense to know when enough was enough.
I wasn’t trying to prove something or trying to be tough.
My kids I love with all my heart,
And they heard that nearly everyday from the start.
A man to me is not a man if he has to beat on his family if that’s his plan.
And to the ladies out there I say to you walk away from this type of man.
They won’t change they don’t possess the desire,
They’ve shorted out their overload wire.
Call the cops are do what you must,
There is help out there, there’s people you can trust.
The odds are less than one in a thousand he will ever change.
Something is wrong with their mind they are deranged.
How many women and children have died from this form of abuse,
Trying to break away just trying to get loose.
There is no clear cut answer just leave when you can.
And no matter what never return to this type of man.
