Power of Knowing

What power does he feel? Does he feel superior? When he pushed her down? When he violently grabbed her By the arm, leaving bruises. The beautiful mix of Purple Blue Black These colors are her favorite. Does he enjoy watching the tears Stream from her eyes, down each cheek. He kneels. Kisses. Thinking it would make things better. What about the time, he forced her out From her comfort zone, Into a stranger’s place They call home. Multiple men in and out. He forces her. What power does he have? What right to to feel superior. Belittling her, as a simple object. Together with the color red, he loved So he would paint her body. From her face down to the gift that God gave her that makes her a woman. What power does he believe in? This is right Her body to be punished only because He failed to make her to be his puppet. What power he lacks? The knowledge. To know that women HAVE NOT DO NOT WILL NOT Ever come with strings. Her body, not made to be punished, But made to protected. Her body, not made for rape, But made to be caressed. Her body, not made to be unappreciated, But made to be loved. Her body, not his use But for God’s use only.
