Gender Based Violence

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Go on and beat me But atleast not infront of our kids For they'll not understand Why you doing this to their mother "Mum why you crying Has dad beaten you again I saw him do it last night I wish he was never around" This is what our son told me I couldn't help but cry Look at how it affects them Why can't we just be at peace like other homes Everyday you come home drunk pockets empty For you've emptied it on bottles And the endless trail of laces that got you hooked Cause you don't see me as attractive as before But how can I be attractive while all you do, is pound the leaving hell out of me It's like my mum stopped beating me while I was young Only for you to continue it now in my adulthood Why you so violent, what are you fighting against Cause most times your war is not with me You just pick up fights even where they're none You've made me a laughing stock by our neighbours Go on beat me Maybe that's what gives you solace For it's not enough that you drowning your sorrows You also drowning all of us, cause our finances are drowning with each bottle The PO£T #NoExcuse #16Days #OrangeTheWorld
