Notes About The Poem

Poem against violence

New Splash On the Wall

The Valentine dress A shock and surprise full of red and blue coming from a heart, mine is devoted to and from a hand I so value as my cute protection. It is colourful, fitting and above all an exhibition of love. The pan A symbol of my dedication to the family’s need; a loving reminder of all wonderful breakfasts, its wash, a satisfaction of my duties already rendered. The flowers The purity of beauty without visual effect, sparkle on the soul to answer their good morning call. Please every evening with their aerosol of happiness spray, causing every creature to relax and play. The wall A wedge to my upright smooth back when in a tingly mood so homely and tender. Its cold sensation, under my handy touch serves as a suitable background to deep thoughts. Unfortunately On the wrong side of an argument, the pan and my head cause an impact. At the door ready for a nice outing the admirable dress is now half way a rag, the innocent flowers, becoming victims of rage and uncontrollable violence and a wall once noted for emotional reflection is repainted with the splash of blood. Indeed I’ve absorbed all the heat and pressures- now he’ll burn. Human right always prevail over the muscles- this he’ll see! Immeasurable determination has been planted in a wounded lion and no amount of sacrifice will deter this quest until justice is served.

wow, this one is deep. Sounds like someone was attacked violently. I like how you said human rights always prevail. As long as man has a heart, that will be so.
